What You’ll Need You’ll need two things for this: A Windows 95 ISO file and a Windows 95 boot disk image. Unlike modern operating systems, the Windows 95 installation disc isn’t bootable. You must first boot into an MS-DOS environment from a Windows 95 boot disk, which would have been a floppy disk at the time, to get the installation started. If you have an old Windows 95 CD lying around, you can insert it into your PC and. While ISO files of Windows 95 are available online, bear in mind that Windows 95 is still under Microsoft copyright, and can’t be legally downloaded from the web.
So start digging through those old drawers of yours. Once you’ve got your Windows 95 ISO file, you can download a boot diskette image from. You will probably just need to download the “Windows95a.img” file. Windows 95b (also known as Windows 95 OSR2) was only available to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), so any Windows 95 disc you have lying around will either by the original Windows 95 release (also known as Windows 95 RTM) or the Windows 95a release (also known as Windows 95 OSR1), which came with Service Pack 1 installed. Step One: Create Your Virtual Machine.
We’ll be doing this in, which is completely free to use and available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can do it in other programs like VMware, but the process of configuring the virtual machine software will be a little different. Once you have VirtualBox installed, click the “New” button to create a new virtual machine.
Enter whatever name you like and select “Windows 95” from the Version box. If you name it “Windows 95”, VirtualBox will automatically choose the correct Windows version. Choose how much RAM you want to expose to your virtual machine. VirtualBox recommends 64 MB, while official Microsoft blog claims that Windows 95 won’t boot if it has more than around 480 MB of memory. You could split the difference and safely use 256 MB, which would be more than enough for old Windows 95 applications. Continue through the wizard until you’re prompted to create your virtual hard disk. VirtualBox will automatically suggest 2.0 GB, and you probably don’t want to go over that.

The retail versions of Windows 95 only support the FAT16 file system, which means they can’t use drives over 2 GB in size. Windows 95b (aka OSR2), which was only released to device manufactures and never sold at retail, does support. So, if you were using this version of Windows 95, you could theoretically use up to 32 GB of space.
Don’t boot up the machine right after you’re finished creating it. First, you’ll need to change a few settings.
Right-click your Windows 95 virtual machine and select “Settings”. Click the “System” category, click the “Acceleration” tab, and uncheck “Enable VT-x/AMD-V”. If you leave this option enabled, you’ll be able to install Windows 95, but it will just show a black screen when it boots up afterwards. Next, click the “Storage” category and select the virtual drive under the Floppy controller.
Click the floppy disk button to the right of Floppy Drive and click “Choose Virtual Floppy Disk File” in the menu. Browse to the boot disk.img file and select it. Finally, click the Empty disc drive under the IDE controller, click the disc icon to the right of Optical Drive, and click “Choose Virtual Optical DIsk File”. Browse to your Windows 95 ISO file and select it. Click “OK” to save your settings when you’re done.
Step Two: Prepare Your Virtual C: Drive You can now just double-click the Windows 95 virtual machine in your library to boot it up. It will boot to a DOS prompt. Note that the virtual machine will capture your keyboard and mouse once you click inside it, but you can press the host key—that’s the right Ctrl key on your keyboard, by default—to free your input and use your PC’s desktop normally. The key is displayed at the bottom right corner of the virtual machine window.
First, you’ll need to partition the virtual drive you created. Type the following command at the prompt and press Enter: fdisk This process is very simple.
You’ll be starting with an empty drive, so you just want to create a DOS partition. That’s the default option, which is “1”. You just need to accept the default options to go through the fdisk process. You can just press “Enter” three times after launching fdisk to create a DOS partition, create a primary partition, and agree that you want to use the maximum size of the drive and make the partition active. You’ll be told you have to restart your virtual machine before continuing. To do this, click Input Keyboard Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del in VirtualBox.
Press the right Ctrl key to free your mouse first, if necessary. You’ll now need to format your new partition, which will be available in the virtual machine as the C: drive. To format it, type the following command at the A: prompt and press Enter: format c: Type Y and press Enter to agree to the format process when prompted. You’ll then be prompted to Enter a label for the drive. You can enter whatever you like, or nothing at all.
Press “Enter” afterwards to finish the process. Step Three: Launch the Windows 95 Installer You will now need to copy the files from the Windows 95 ISO file to your C: drive. Theoretically, you should just be able to run the Setup program from the disc drive itself to install Windows 95. However, this produces errors, as the disc drive isn’t mounted after the installer reboots, and the installer isn’t able to find driver files it needs.
Instead, we found it much easier to simply copy the files to the C: drive and run the installer from there. First, figure out which drive letter your disc drive was mounted as. This is displayed when your virtual machine boots up. On our virtual machine, it’s the R: drive.
If you forgot and can’t see it on your screen, you can always restart your virtual machine once again with the Ctrl+Alt+Delete option in the keyboard menu to view this info. Run the following command to copy the files from the Windows 95 disc to your C: drive, replacing R: with whatever drive letter corresponds to your virtual disc drive. Xcopy R: C: INSTALL /S When the process is complete, you can now switch to your C: drive and launch the setup program from the INSTALL program, like so: c: cd INSTALL setup Press Enter once again to continue when prompted. The graphical Windows 95 setup program will appear.
From here on out, you can do everything graphically without messing with the DOS prompt. The actual installation process is simple. On most screens, you can accept the default options and speed through the process. You will be prompted to enter your Windows 95 product key before the installation process finishes, however. Different editions of Windows 95 require different product keys, so ensure you’re using the correct key. When you reach the Analyzing Your Computer screen, be sure to check the “Network Adapter” and “Sound, MIDI, or Video Capture Card” options to ensure all the virtual machine’s hardware is correctly detected and configured.
When you’re asked to create a Startup Disk, you can select “No, I do not want a startup disk” to continue. This isn’t 1995 and you’re not installing this on a real PC, after all. The actual installation process will be extremely quick on modern hardware, even in a virtual machine. At the end of the setup process, Windows will prompt you to reboot and tell you to remove the floppy disk from your computer. To do this, click Devices Floppy Drive Remove Disk From Virtual Drive.
Click “OK” to reboot your PC and continue afterwards. The setup process will continue setting up your hardware. You’ll be told you have to provide a name to continue, but you can enter anything you like here. Finally, you’ll be prompted to provide your time zone and set up a printer.
You can just click “Cancel” in the Add Printer Wizard window to skip configuring a printer when it appears. Finally, your PC will reboot and you’ll be prompted to create a password. You’ll then be presented with the Windows 95 desktop. You’re done—you now have a Windows 95 virtual machine. To really get back into the 90’s, open Windows Explorer from Windows 95’s Start menu and head to the C: Install Funstuff Videos folder.
You’ll find music videos for Weezer’s Buddy Holly (“Weezer”) and Edie Brickell’s Good Times (“Goodtime”), which were included on the Windows 95 disc. There’s also a movie trailer for the movie Rob Roy, which was also released in 1995. The videos in the “Highperf” folder are higher quality than the ones in the main Videos folder, so be sure to watch those—your modern PC can handle them!

As media you can select a CD image file (i.e. An ISO), or a host drive. There was no need to use Deamon Tools to mount an ISO - VirtualBox can read those directly.
Just did that, when i push enter it just flashes and goes no where. I would think the issue is with my 'boot.img' but how could it be if the program started at all.
I go to DevicesFloppy Devices and select Boot.img, the same one i used in the 'Storage' settings to start everything. Posts: 10 Joined: 25. Apr 2014, 14:24.
Patches
Please clarify: are you using a CD image or a floppy image? If the latter, were you using Daemon tools to mount the floppy image?
If it's a floppy, then VirtualBox only directly supports raw (no header), uncompressed floppy images. A byte for byte image of the disk.
You can tell the floppy is of this type because the image size should exactly match the expected size. If it's an image of a 1.44MB floppy then the file should be exactly 1,474,560 bytes. Anything larger or smaller than that, even by one byte, means that VirtualBox probably can't use it. If CD: data CDs are defined by a standard: ISO-9660 and later derivatives. So data CDs can be represented by ISO format image files (.iso files). Site Moderator Posts: 25990 Joined: 4.

How to install Windows 95 Virtual Box User: CpblackopsMW3 (sorry cant post the actual link). Posts: 10 Joined: 25. Apr 2014, 14:24. Ok, I got your file, thanks for the link. To end any further confusion: you should not have used the word 'ISO' in the topic title.
An 'ISO' refers exclusively to an image of a data CD, since it alludes to the ISO-9660 filesystem used on data CDs. Your file 'BOOT.IMG' is a straight floppy image, there are no CDs or ISOs involved. You have led many people down the garden path with that one, including me. Please in future try to avoid jargon words you don't understand.
Site Moderator Posts: 25990 Joined: 4. Sep 2008, 17:09 Primary OS: MS Windows 10 VBox Version: PUEL Guest OSses: Mostly XP. Ok, as to your floppy image. Boot.img is, as it's name implies, a bootable floppy image. It is not corrupted. Here is the contents, which I got by mounting the floppy in an XP VM (Devices Floppy) and making a screenshot of the contents.
As you can see, this is a standard boot floppy, also typical of a rescue floppy. It contains most of the tools necessary (format, disk) to format a hard disk. In fact that's what I suggest you next do, as you can't run an installer (to hdd) until you have a disk prepared to install on. It also contains the tool 'OEMSETUP.EXE' which will be the first step of a Windows 95 installation. I didn't want to zap my XP VM, so of course I didn't let this run. I assume you wouldn't choose Win95 without knowing what it's limitations were, but just in case: when Win95 came out, data CDs were relatively new. A typical PC couldn't be assumed to have a CD drive, never mind one which the BIOS was capable of booting from.
Hence a Windows installer often came on a set of 5 or 6 floppies, which you had to insert one at a time when prompted. Also the installer, due to lack of space (after all 6 floppies is less than 10MB total), would have been much less self contained, e.g.
You might have have been presumed to be starting from a working DOS hdd installation rather than an entirely blank PC. This floppy might be disk 1 of the set, or there might have been a prior DOS installer, as for some reason this seems to have been designed to launch right into the Win95 bit without allowing you to fdisk and format first.
I suggest you look at tutorials for installing DOS, before you look at upgrading DOS to Win95. Personally, I would regard Win98SE as the oldest version of Windows you should bother installing in order to use. Win98SE was the first to come with a self contained CD installer as you would recognize it. Attachments boot.img.png (47.23 KiB) Viewed 3531 times Site Moderator Posts: 25990 Joined: 4.
