It didn't take me long to remember from an old book I read that I was supposed to use DOS to run the setup program and install Windows that way, and I remembered from previous experience with Windows XP's bootable DOS disks that you couldn't access the CD drive from one, so I copied the Windows 95 CD contents to a partition on a virtual drive. at which point I promptly discovered that the CD wasn't bootable. I had very little idea as to what I was doing at the time, and so attempted to boot the Windows 95 CD I had handy. Several years ago, I got the itch to try and install Windows 95 in a VM on my Windows 7 laptop. Sorry about that, feel free to delete this if you'd like.įirst, the anecdote that inspired this question. After some fiddling with my XP and Win95 disks, I remembered that the problems I was having were more likely related to how Windows XP was formatting the Windows 95 installation target drive, and I also discovered that the most recent version of VirtualBox won't let me do what I'm trying to do at all, so I think this whole question is actually due to me misremembering and possibly misunderstanding things, plus virtualization problems. EDIT: And this is why you shouldn't rely purely on memory for these sort of things.
