Guys, help!! 😢 I installed Virtual PC 5.2 here, and them DOS 6.22. Sad news is that I can't put my cdrom to work here... If I boot it with Win98 cd it's ok, but on DOS itself no way... What the heck is going on here?

Thanks, I got it. Just added the following on config.sys:
LASTDRV=Z
Virtual PC is weird... and the sound blaster emulation sux on it... I don't know if there's anything wrong, but MIDI sound is all distorced and crap....

The update additions for DOS are included in a "floppy-disk image". So, you only have to drag the file to the floppy-disk icon located on the bottom of Virtual-PC window.

In this moment is like if you had a "real" floppy-disk inserted in your computer. So, just type "a:", make a "dir", and execute the program which installs the additions.
