That's the only way I can get it to boot. If I don't do that and insert a bootable CD that lets me boot off the harddrive, my NEC Ready 7022 doesn't detect a bootable drive at all. So, your BIOS doesn't support drives even as large as 1 GB? Have you looked into getting an update? In any case, as I …

I'm also using the EZ-Drive Dynamic Drive Overlay. Since it's only a 1 GB drive, wouldn't that be unnecessary? Perhaps that is the source of some of your problems. Either way, try running chkdsk (or rather chkdsk /f), as I said. Well, here's the thing... That's the only way I can get it to boot. If …

I don't know about that... I'm extremely careful with using DOS and old Windows programs downloaded from the Internet to the point that I always check exes with VirusTotal. I've also checked file dates and sizes after running them, and they're all as they should be. I guess Windows sometimes just …

Strangely, I've actually tried ScanDisk, and it says I have to install it via the Add/Remove Programs, but it doesn't show up in the Windows Features options... Also, I have shown system files. That is extremely strange. Did you prepare this Windows installation yourself? I'm partly inclined to …

I second the suggestion of using Scandisk. Also, have you checked the "Show hidden/system files" (or whatever it is) option in Windows Explorer? Strangely, I've actually tried ScanDisk, and it says I have to install it via the Add/Remove Programs, but it doesn't show up in the Windows Features …

Hey, I'm trying to find a way to clear off some space on my 1GB Hard Drive in my DOS/Windows 95 gaming setup. When right clicking the hard drive in My Computer, it says that 900mb of the drive is being used, but when I highlight every folder on the drive and see how much everything takes up, it says …

What does the situation look like in the Windows 95 Device Manager? Can you change IRQ's on the Resources tab for Sound in Device Manager? Here's what it was like. http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af336/thepirategamerboy12/IMG_4594_zpsop8za2hj.jpg I changed the IRQs, DMAs, etc. to things that …

Well, even though I found the proper Windows 95 drivers for the sound system here on Vogons, I still get conflicts with "other devices" (it either says it's conflicting with something called "Other Device or a Gameport Joystick)... What gives now?

Hello. I have an old NEC Ready 7022 Pentium PC with 8mb of RAM that I just got working and have installed Windows 95. I have graphics drivers installed in Windows, but I can't for the life of me get sound working in it. The system uses an obscure Opti/NEC82C930 sound system that offers Windows Sound …

I just tried DosBox on a completely different computer, and it has the same problems, so I doubt it's my computer. I also tried the Wii port of DosBox (I know it's not from the same team, but whatever) and it also had slowdown when loading files (although it was much more extreme than on the PC).
