Hi all

I've got Windows 95 in a img file. I am mounting it in DOSBox using imgmount and then booting the image, which works fine. I also have an ISO image which I want to mount as a virtual CD-ROM and am able to mount it using imgmount before booting Windows. I can see the contents of the ISO image on the DOSBox command line before booting Windows, but after booting Windows the drive letter does not show. How can I get Windows 95 to see the mounted ISO image and use it as its CD-ROM drive?

Thanks in advance!

Not with lock stock Dosbox. You might have better chances with the forks dosbox-x and Dsum. But Dosbox-x can be unstable and Daum is broken in other regards

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into those options. As an alternative, do you know of a way to expand a disk image? I can copy the CD's files into the image, but the Windows 95 image is currently too small.

Oh! Mounting another HDD image worked! It still showed up after booting Windows 95. Thanks! I ended up downloading a 2GB image from here as I couldn't create one which would mount in DOSBox.
