Hi there. I'm trying to get Windows 95 to work on DOSBox. I remember once being able to do it a long time ago but right now I don't seem to have much luck.
I have a valid 200 MB FAT16 image (made with FDISK/FORMAT) as well as an MS-DOS boot disk and the CD (both in image form). Mounting the CD in regular DOSBox mode works fine but the install apparently requires "real" DOS.
So when I try to start up my boot disk, the CD apparently can't be detected:
Z:\>imgmount d "/Volumes/Prototype Stalker-C/Software/Windows 95.dmg" -t iso -fs isoMSCDEX installed.Drive D is mounted as /Volumes/Prototype Stalker-C/Software/Windows 95.dmgZ:\>imgmount c "Images/c.img"Drive C is mounted as Images/c.imgZ:\>boot "Images/WIN98SEC.IMG"Opening image file: Images/WIN98SEC.IMGBooting from drive A...Starting Windows 98...This driver is provided by Oak Technology, Inc..OTI-91X ATAPI CD-ROM device driver, Rev D91XV352(C)Copyright Oak Technology Inc. 1987-1997Device Name : TOMATONo drives found, aborting installationDevice driver not found: 'TOMATO'.No valid CDROM device drivers selectedA:\>
So how does one use a CD image while in "real" DOS mode?
Some notes:
- I doubt the fact I'm using a DMG image makes a big difference. The setup works just fine (for a while, until it's supposed to stop working) when I run it in the standard DOSBox environment.
- I'm using the Windows 98 SE disk image from http://www.bootdisk.com/ (using the fourth CD driver instead of the first though)
- I'm quite positive I got it working before!
