I recommend setting up a fixed size virtual HDD file with geometry that mimics an actual hard drive from back in the day (in my case of the 6.4 GB drive I "borrowed" geometry from an actual Quantum Fireball SE 6.4 HDD). I've been using my old Win 95 OSR 2 bootdisk from back in the day and the 98 bootdisk for Windows 98 SE installation for a while now and never ran in any of such issues when using PCem.

Using OSR2 will save you some headaches.īy the way, just to be sure: In your post, you said you were running Setup.exe from A:\. The problem then, however, is that boot disk doesn't include a CD-ROM driver, so you'd have to load your own in order to install from the CD. If you want to continue with the pre-OSR2 version, I suggest using a pre-OSR2 boot disk, such as this one. Probably related to using a newer version of fdisk from a boot disk for Win95 OSR2 or Win98. I'm not sure why you still get the warnings about disk compression. I believe that's just a precautionary step but not really necessary. I've installed Win95 from ISO in PCem many times without copying the install directory to C.
I'm not sure why that tutorial you linked says there's a bug that prevents Win95 from being installed from the CD (could you imagine the hell Microsoft would have been in if that were true?). You should be able to install it from the CD, so I recommend doing that unless a problem presents itself.
It's not necessary to copy the Win95 directory to C. Try: 1) Do not enable large drive support, or 2) Use a known OSR2 Win95 disk. However, pre-OSR2 versions of Windows 95 do not support FAT32, so you'll get the messages that you're seeing. The version of fdisk on the startup disk you're using is probably asking you if you want to enable large drive support. You're doing everything right, but it looks like you're having a problem with trying to install a retail / pre-OSR2 version of Windows 95 on a FAT32 drive.
Got a strange warning which I plowed through.
fdisk to create a primary DOS partition.ģ. I found a boot floppy for Windows 95 and did the following:ġ. I created a P55TVP4 with a 1GB hard drive and a Pentium 166 MHz system. First time PCem user trying to install Windows 95 (I *think* it's OSR2 but not sure - it's the original OEM disk I've had since 1996).
