The *Settings* window allows you to configure the emulated machine.
If any changes were made to the settings, you will be asked whether or not you want to save the changes upon pressing *OK* or closing the window. Saving changes will hard reset the emulated machine. Press *Cancel* to immediately discard all changes.

3. If all else fails, a guess is made based on the file size.
The BIOS Parameter Block detection may result in incorrect behavior on non-DOS-compatible floppy disks. Installation floppies for UNIX and Linux are common examples of non-DOS-compatible disks. Disabling the :ref:`Check BPB <settings/floppycdrom:Floppy drives>` option is strongly recommended for accessing these, as the inaccurate BPB detection may result in read errors, data corruption and other issues.

.. rubric:: Step 3: Configure the hardware
When you start a virtual machine, you probably want to configure it with the hardware options you want. This is much like putting together the hardware components to build a PC. To do this, go to the *Tools* menu and select *Settings*. This will bring up the *Settings* window, which has a lot of options to choose from, split into several categories.
