Here's what I mentioned on FASM's forum a few years ago:

> Win 7 (Home, 64-bit):
> =====================
> Win key - (search) "computer management"
> click "Storage -> Disk Management"
> click the Volume window
> right click Disk Management -> Create VHD (or via menu "Action")
> (here I'm making a 4096 MB dynamic disk)
> Action -> All Tasks -> Initialize (MBR)
> Action -> All Tasks -> New Simple Volume (mount as drive G:, FAT32, quick format)
> Explorer -> cut and paste any files from C: to G: (e.g. hello.txt)
> right click "Disk 1" -> "Detach VHD"
>
> VirtualBox 4.3.40 (64-bit):
> ===========================
> on existing "FreeDOS" install, click Storage -> Controller: IDE -> click button "Add Hard Disk" (existing)
> boot "FreeDOS" normally (and edit hello.txt)
> quit the VM (Host-Q, aka Right Ctrl-Q)
> Storage -> Remove Attachment
>
> ...
> back to running Computer Management -> Disk Management
> Attach VHD
> back to Explorer -> G: -> read your modified hello.txt
> when finished, Detach VHD
