Windows 95 Iso Virtualbox
Hey there, I'm a newb to VirtualBox, and so you'll have to pardon me if this question is dumb, ignorant, already asked (though I couldn't find it after looking at the 10 most recent pages of this forum), etc. In fact, when I registered for this forum so I could ask this question, I began to think that using VB is a bit beyond my abilities. I didn't even understand how to find out what VBox Version I'm using (OSE Debian? I haven't a clue what any of those are, and put 'OSE other' finally.
Isn't it enough that I know I'm using version 4. Reallusion Iclone 5 Rapidshare. 0.4 r70112?) Anyhow, here's the problem: I'm trying to use VB to run Windows 95 on Windows 7 host computer using an ISO file I downloaded. I open up the VirtualBox Manager and hit run (or double-click 'Windows 95,' as I've named it, in the left window panel) and a dos window comes up with a list of operating systems to choose from. I move the cursor down to number 5, Windows 95 and. That's where I'm stuck. The WIndows 95 OS does not start running.
If I hit Enter, some info about the device and driver comes up, followed by 'unidade especificada n =o e valida' -- something to the effect of unit specified not valid, I'm guessing -- and a prompt: A: >So what exactly am I supposed to be doing at this point to bring Windows 95 up on my virtual machine? All I want to do is play an old computer game, and this is becoming a lot more complicated that merely using an emulator to run rom files. I don't know if it was necessary in this version for me to do -- as a lot of the ins and outs of this technical stuff goes right over my head -- but I went under Settings>Storage and, used the Add CD/DVD for the ISO file, and Add Hard Disk for the VDI file so that those two files are now listed under IDE Controller Panel. However, this had no effect on making it work.
