![]() If the drive is formatted, it will say FAT32 under system. I saw this by going back to fdisk and then choosing option 4 to display the partition information. ![]() The problem was that the drive was unformatted. Translated, it said, "Setup requires 7340032 bytes of available memory on drive C:". Then I typed Y when asked "Do you wish to use the maximum available size for a Primary DOS Partition and make the partition active (Y/N)".Īfter restarting the computer and trying setup again, I got this message: Then I chose option 1 again, Create Primary DOS Partition. ![]() This brought up the Fixed Disk Setup Program:įirst I chose option 1, Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive. Now you have to recreate FAT16 or FAT32 and format.īasically, I had to restart the computer and then type 'fdisk'. I had to follow the procedure from here: Something that wasn't needed before when hard disks were normally prepared for Win98 by default. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up Windows." Translated to English, it said, "Creating a temporary directory is not possible. To cancel, press the ESC key." So I pressed the enter key. The installer will check the standard system. (I think this runs the setup.exe file from the floppy disk).Īccording to Google Translate, this screen said, "Please wait for initialization installer. The text mentions an R drive, so I switched to that by typing R: and pressing enter. Notice the virtual computer was currently on the A drive (as shown by A:\>). Here's what happened when I ran the computer. I loaded the ISO file in the virtual CD drive and the IMG file in the virtual floppy disk drive. Under Type, I chose Microsoft Windows, and under Version, I chose Windows 95. If you search for it in Piratebay or Kickass Torrents, you should be able to find it. Unfortunately though it's a Polish copy of Windows, so you will have to keep switching to Google Translate.įirst, I chose New in VirtualBox. I found one on Kickass Torrents called Windows 95. I already had VirtualBox installed, so the next step was to obtain a copy of Windows 95. This software allows you to run a virtual computer on your laptop, so you don't need to replace Windows 10 with Windows 95. I know it's possible to convert some 16-bit installers to 32-bit but it really depends on the game as well.For reasons too stupid to explain, I wanted to install Windows 95 on my computer. I'd probably try googling the game name with DxWnd or something first.īTW, if any of the games has a 16-bit installer and you're running a 64-bit Windows then your only option might be installing older Windows version in PCem or VirtualBox. Also, some of these programs might be a bit tricky to set up but there should be plenty of tutorials online. What works for you really depends on the games you're having problems with. Instead of VirtualBox I'd recommend using PCem which is a full PC emulator (requires more CPU power than VB, though): PCem DDrawCompat is a simple drop-in dll replacement for improving compatibility with old games: narzoul/DDrawCompatĥ. dgVoodoo 2 is a similar program as DxWnd: Dege's stuffsĤ. DxWnd is a program that can intercept old system/DirectX calls and translate them for newer systems: DxWndģ. DOSBox works for DOS games (not for Windows games): DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOSĢ. Here's a few different options you can try:ġ. ![]()
