    swarfega,

    Have installed VirtualBox no problem, am downloading Win95 now but it'll take a while. Once done i'll let you know how I get on.

    Plus: i'm gonna configure with 64MB RAM & 8GB HD space.

    Hi swarfega,

    How do you even get to the 'Installation'? I've got VirtualBox installed & have a Win95 ISO file but it won't boot and i can't get to even run any sort of setup.

    Heeeeellllp

    Windows 95 CD wasn't bootable if I remember.

    You should try to boot with a Dos 6.22 floppy. You can specify floppy and CD access from the virtual machine preferences.

    Yeah, thanks man. I remembered that about 5 mins ago LOL.

    I've had it installing but i think i've got a corrupt Win95 ISO file so i'll download another 1.

    I used this file (just extract the .img file from the .zip file)
    Windows95 Boot Disk.ZIP

    The autoexec.bat file creates your CD drive as R:

    Ok, the first part of the installation has gone according to plan, until it restarts & tries to load files from the CD rom drive. I've got a mounted CD rom set up but it just wont accept any source drive.

    Any ideas? (Pic Included)
