Notes

You will need a copy of the Windows 95 boot disk.

Step 1: DOSBox Setup

Edit DOSBOX.CONF (the configuration file for DOSBox) and some of the lines with this code (if it exists):

output=surface -> output=opengl

vmemsize=x -> vmemsize=8

memsize=16 -> memsize=512

core=auto -> core=dynamic

cputype=auto -> cputype=pentium

cycles=auto -> cycles=max

voodoo=default -> voodoo=opengl

(this will be the end of DOSBOX.CONF)

[autoexec]

SET GLIDE=600

(add these after you have made WIN95VHD.img)

imgmount a '/path/to/Windows95b.img' -size 1,440

imgmount c '/path/to/WIN95VHD.img' -size 2097152

Step 2: Make the Virtual Hard Disk

Run this command for DOSBox Daum builds:

Z:> imgmake WIN95VHD.img -t hd -size 2048 -nofs

Or download the bochs tools, extract the archive, and run bximage.exe. Run the BXIMAGE.BAT under windows or wine to make an image. Here is the command for creating the image

What kind of image should I create?

Please type flat, sparse or growing. [flat]

Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 129023

[10] 2048

I will create a 'flat' hard disk image with

cyl=xxx

heads=xx

sectors per track=xxx

total sectors=xxxxxxx

total size=2048 megabytes

What should I name the image?

[c.img] WIN95VHD.img

In the case that you need to specify a port range, then you can use a hyphen (-). For example, 3000-3100.Click the Next button.Select the Allow the connection option. (Using the same step, note that you can also block connection.)Allow connection settings.Click the Next button.Select the network type the new rule should apply to. Info: If the application requires multiple ports open, you can type as many as you need as long as you separate each one with a comma (4500,4600,5000). Com port settings windows 10. (Usually, you want to leave this option with the default selections.)Firewall network profile settings.Click the Next button.Type a descriptive name for the rule.

Writing: [] Done.

I wrote xxxxxxxxxx bytes to WIN95VHD.img.

Install Windows 95 On Dosbox

This command creates the Windows 95 Virtual Hard Disk Image which will be used as the target image for installation files. This file can be found in the same directory as 'DOSBOX.CONF`. If you cannot mount the image, use a folder instead.

Step 3: Boot the drive

After you have made the VHD and added the lines for AUTOEXEC.BAT, restart DOSBox. To boot the drive, use command boot to boot from a drive.

Z:> boot -l a

You will now need to partition the VHD. Refer to the Windows 95 Installation Guide Step 2 for how to use make partitions here. You will also need to format the partition, which is part of Step 2.

Step 4: Getting the setup files

You will now need to get the setup files. Mount the WIN95VHD.img file we created earlier and copy the directory .WIN95 from the Windows 95 Disc. If you cannot mount the IMG file, then mount the cdrom drive as D, mkdir C:WIN95, and copy D:WIN95*.* C:WIN95. Start the Windows 95 Setup by using the commands:

A:> c:

C:> cd win95

Do note after Windows 95 is ready to restart during setup, close DOSBOX, remove the floppy mount command and change the boot -l a to boot -l c. Information about setup is found here.
