Help! now whenever I try to install Windows 95, MS-DOS, or anything, it will never start correctly. I will try to boot it, and it only says "Booting from drive A. . .", and just stays like that. Someone please help!

(P. S., I don't want to use VirtualBox and Virtual PC because I want to make it portable, and they aren't portable, OK?!?!?!)

Installing Windows 95 is not supported.

Both VirtualBox and Virtual PC show up with errors. They just won't run. Though, DOSBox runs correctly from USB. And Dominous, I always see you talk about it, but of course now you are saying it isn't supported.

I would love to see Windows 95 to be supported but it just isn't. Please fix your posting and hit reply, not akways making a new topoc.

If you are not using the version from http://www.vbox.me/ , that's probably quite likely.

Whatever problems you are having with portable VirtualBox are probably minor in comparison to the problems you will experience in trying to install Windows 95 in DOSBox.
