Hello,
I have Compaq Contura 420C, it had bad HDD that i've replaced and installed MSDOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 in top of that. Issue is that it's freezing just after the boot - no reaction to trackball or keyboard. Setup itself is running correctly, no issues during installation but it won't run. Games are running great directly from DOS, but user experience without some 90's wallpaper on that grainy STN screen suffers a lot. 😉
I've ran win with /b option and not much here - it fails with loading netapi.dll (i have no network devices on that machine so it doesn't matter i think).
Any ideas? I've tried to search for that, but in 2020 other threads (on different forums) are mainly about issues with virtualizating that OS, so nothing helped so far. Didn't try Win95 so far since i have no USB -> IDE interface or anything similar to copy data without floppies.
