Get a boot disk. First off, get an MS- DOS boot disk. You'll need a . img file. I myself used 6. 22. C. IMG from Bootdisk. I don't know exactly which versions of MS- DOS will work, but I suppose 7 should be fine too.

The Microsoft Windows Installer is an installation and configuration service that ships as part of the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system, and is provided.

Welcome to the SoftMac Online Documentation page. This is where we show you how to download and install the latest releases of SoftMac 2000 and SoftMac XP. System ID Field. Another element of the partition table is the System ID field. It defines which file system, such as FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS, was used to format the. Motor World Car Factory Hack.

I've read that you can cheat Windows into accepting a different version by using set ver 6. I can't confirm this myself since if you use 6. Make sure this file is in your DOSBox directory. Make a hard disk image. You can do this using the bximage program that comes with Bochs. HAL9. 00. 0's Megabuild contains a built in command for creating these from within DOSBox.

There's a section on using it on the DOSBox wiki too. All you really need to remember when using bximage is the cylinder count, since everything else is standardized and shouldn't be changed.

In my example I'm making a 4. MB image which has 8.

Only flat images are supported (as of this time of editing). Sparse images will not be recognized. However, it's possible to still compress flat files using your host OS's filesystem; in Windows XP, this is the default behavior (hence the blue filename). Copy this file (let's call it c. DOSBox directory. Mount and format your new hard disk image.

Windows 95 (codenamed Chicago) is a consumer-oriented operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released on August 24, 1995, and was a significant improvement.

So now we have a hard disk image that we're going to be installing Windows 9. The problem is it doesn't have a filesystem yet. This is where our boot disk first comes in. Start up DOSBox and type the following: Code: Select allimgmount 2 c. Note: you may need to replace c. It should say Drive number 2 mounted as c.

You might notice that we're not giving it a drive letter: basically, every drive needs to have a filesystem, which is a sort of file index, before it can be used properly. Without a filesystem (like FAT3. NTFS, HFS+, etc.) a filesystem is just empty, unorganized space that the operating system can recognize but can't really do anything with, so until we fix this problem we can't mount it under C or any other drive letter yet. Modifying filesystems on a drive is called partitioning. Now type the following: Code: Select allboot 6. DOSBox will now boot up from the MS- DOS boot disk. The first thing we'll do is use fdisk to create a filesystem.

Run fdisk, choose option 1 (Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive), then option 1 (Create Primary DOS Partition). When asked if you want the new partition to comprise the whole hard disk, choose Y. A system restart will be prompted. Press enter; DOSBox will quit.

Now that we have our newly partitioned drive, we need to format it to effectively bring it to a completely empty and consistent state so that we can start putting files on it. To do so, we need to restart DOSBox and boot back into MS- DOS. This time, however, we'll mount our drive differently: Code: Select allimgmount c c. At this point, DOSBox should say . If something is wrong, start this step over.

Don't attempt to access the C drive from DOSBox's own DOS shell or you might make it unreadable for pure DOS. Now boot into MS- DOS by using the same command as last time: Code: Select allboot 6. When you enter the DOS prompt, format your new C drive by typing: Code: Select allformat c: Note: if at this point DOSBox is incorrectly reporting the size of your hard disk, that may be due to either a DOSBox bug or a problem with MS- DOS.

I don't know exactly which one, but I've found that hard disk images with a size of over 5. MB (or a cylinder count of over 1. They'll work, but you'll only be able to use a portion. Copy over setup files and start Windows 9.

At this point you should have your Windows 9. The version should not matter all that much; I'm using a Dutch OEM version myself, the same one I got with my first Pentium computer about 1.

It doesn't really matter if it's an image or not. The trick here is to copy the installation files over to your newly formatted hard disk and then perform the install from there. Discs degrade over time and will become unreadable, especially if it's already a home made copy to begin with.)The easiest way to do this (to my knowledge, anyway) is to mount the c. I'm on Mac OS X myself and can mount it by double clicking on the image file in the Finder.

On Windows, I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, but a program like Isobuster should work too. Dominus recommends using Disk. Explorer which is free. Make sure you close DOSBox before you move the files. All you need to do is move over the entire WIN9. CAB files) from the CD to your mounted and now formatted image.

It should be only about 3. MB in size. Unmount c. DOSBox. We'll now start the installation. Mount c. img like we did the last time and boot 6. To start the installation, type the following: Code: Select allc: cd win.

The /is flag will prevent Scandisk from running, which is unnecessary.)Note: if the mouse is not working at this point, exit setup and run mouse. A: drive. Windows 9. To have Windows start up automatically when starting DOSBox, you could edit your config to contain the following under . If you find that DOSBox isn't running anymore after a while, that's because Windows setup prompted a restart. Simply restart DOSBox and reboot into your c. Caveats and finishing up.

Note that the best way to run Windows 9. DOSBox is with machine=svga.

I'm actually not sure about core=normal being the best choice (qbix mentioned that the dynamic core is probably as safe to use as the normal core), but it's the oldest and most tested. In the past, core=simple was used to run Windows 9. The simple core emulates less instructions and causes visual glitches today. It's possible to get internet working using HAL9.

NE2. 00. 0 passthrough patch, but it requires compiling your own version or using his Megabuild. I'll update this guide later when I get that working.

On Mac OS X, make sure you don't set the screen bit depth to anything over 8- bit (2. I've also found that it's MUCH faster in full- screen mode when using the opengl output system. Hardware detection should work just fine, so don't worry about DOSBox locking up. Visit #dosbox @ irc.
