Installing Windows 95 in VirtualBox

Im trying to install Windows 95 from my old cd disc into VirtualBox but it gets as far as the message:

Please wait while setup initializes.
Copying files needed for Windows Setup...
and just stays there.

Ive installed Windows 95 successfully in the past so Im not sure why its not working this time.

Ive configured the settings with 8mb of ram, 74mb vhd.

After configuring the settings, I run fdisk and say yes to use maximum space and then set up a primary partition after which I reboot the virtualbox. I then format c: and run sys c: to install DOS (version 6.22 (is this the wrong version perhaps? Which version of DOS was around at the time of Windows 95?)).
