If the file is not write-protected, Virtual Media may write to the image file. To make sure that Virtual Media does not write to the media:

Configure the operating system to write-protect a floppy image file that must not be overwritten.
Use the write-protection feature of the device.

When virtualizing read-only image files, multiple sessions can use the same image media simultaneously.

When virtualizing physical drives, only one session can access a given physical drive at a time.
