Hello, I've recently watched a video on the Windows NT 4.0 Server Network Client Administration Deployment, For context, a Network Installation Startup Disk allows you to deploy Windows 95, alongside other tools from a network share.

I'm trying to get Windows 95 deployed over a network from Windows NT 4.0 server share. To do this, I have to boot from a disk that NT 4.0 makes, after formatting it to be bootable, it does boot, and even connects to the domain, but when it comes time to start the installation, it all falls apart with setup going back to the command line with the error:

1Cannot create a temporary directory. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create a MS-DOS boot partition to setup windows.

After some investigation, I discovered that it couldn't create a temporary directory because C: wasn't mounted, and I'm not sure why. The Windows 95 boot disk detects it just fine, and the virtual disk I used is new, formatted in FAT32. I run the SYS c: command, which completed successfully, but still, it refuses to work.

Does anyone have anything to help fix this?

I'm doing this through 86box, if anyone was wondering.
