I installed virtual pc 5.1 on windows xp, and i tried to install windows 95 on it using the SuperWOS cd, i made the hard drive image and when i open virtual pc and start up the windows 95 image which i made, it has a blank screen because Ii doesn't have a installed OS but i made a image of the SuperWOS and captured it in the hard drive image and pressed the right ctrl but it wouldn't load up and i tired capturing the host drive d: but it still wouldn't load up and pressed right ctrl, the cd SuperWOS is bootable, so I don't know whats wrong, could someone help me please.

Thanxs.

Sorry dude, don't know what's wrong, but I do know a way to bypass this problem;

Simply boot a Win98/Win95 floppy in the Vitual PC, and load some IDE CD-Rom drivers. FDisk and format virtual partition, and copy the Win95 folder to that partition and your on your way.

I do have to agree that it's eird it can't boot the CD-Image or even the CD.

I tired the book disc of windows 95 with a CD in the cd rom of windows 95, but still no luck, would it work with virtual pc 4, and does virtual pc 4 support windows xp? as I' running windows xp.

Did the boot floppy contain a cdrom driver in the config.sys?

Version 4 does support XP as the host, but it's probable that you CD won't work in 4 if it doesn't work in 5,

Theres no config.sys in the boot floppy.

OK,

Download the http://www.xs4all.nl/~cactus/BetaONE/CDDRIVERS.ZIP , and extract it to the floppy.

Create a config.sys on the floppy with the line DEVICE=CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 and an autoexec.bat with the line MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /L:E

after booting that floppy you should have a E: drive, witch is yoy CD-Rom

Hopes this helps

Still no work.

Any messages from the CDDROM.SYS or MSCDEX.EXE?

Nope. just didn't read it.

What do you mean DaMan?
