Installing Windows 95 etc. for WinTel Tutorial

This tutorial will guide you through booting FreeDOS with CD-ROM support to accomplish the following:

1. Download our FreeDOS.img.sit (448KB) boot floppy image. This is a FreeDOS boot disk configured with a CD-ROM driver and a CD-ROM driver installer. For the tutorial, please place the disk image in your Home folder. This can be accomplished by dragging the downloaded file to the "Home" icon on the top menu bar of a Finder window. This disk image can be used to install Windows 95, DOS or other operating systems. Windows 98 may require a real Windows 98 boot disk to install Windows 98.

2. Create a WinTel Hard Disk image: A hard disk image is a virtual windows hard disk that we will need to install Windows or other operating systems on.

3. Boot FreeDOS: Startup the Bochs emulator using the FreeDos.img file.

4. Run FDISK on the newly created WinTel Hard Disk image: This is required to partition the newly created hard disk image.

5. Run FORMAT on our new Hard Disk image: We must format our disk image before we can use it.

6. Install Windows (or other OS): Install an operating system on to our disk image.

7. Install the CD-ROM driver on our C: Drive: Install the CD-ROM drivers to our new hard disk.

8. Boot off the new C: Drive: Start using your new operating system.
