Windows 95 OSR 2 Windows 95 offered, at long last, a well designed document-oriented desktop shell that worked much like the 1984 Macintosh Finder. It also included a new way of finding installed applications through a 'Start' menu. And it included the same networking abilities as Windows for Workgroups. It integrated the ability to run 32-bit applications similar to or with Win32s.

It no longer ran on a separate DOS product. But Windows 95 was not a pure '32-bit' OS: It was still based around the framework of Windows 3.x, 2.x and 1.x. It still ran on top of DOS, but bundled its own special 'Windows 95' DOS (AKA MS-DOS 7). It could even still make use of DOS drivers. The 95 architecture was continued with.

Bootable Windows 95 CD. I have found a couple of places on the net that offer boot-able Windows 95. You can get a Windows 98/ME bootable floppy image from.

Most 95 CDs are NOT BOOTABLE. If a download does not include a boot floppy, please see If the listed serials below do not work for a specific release, please see the You may also override the install type (no serial needed) by creating a file name MSBATCH.INF with the lines '[Setup]', and then 'ProductType=1', placing that in the Win95 setup folder, and then running setup.

I recently obtained a Windows 95 CD.

I want to install it on VirtualBox, but I can't get the CD to boot. I've tried installing FreeDOS and starting the install from there, but it hangs at the text 'Copying Files.' I've also tried using an MS-DOS startup disk (image file) and when I format the virtual disk using FDISK, it tells me that Windows needs so many bytes on the drive.

The disk is 10GB, which is really a lot for Windows 95. I'm really stumped on how to get this working. Any suggestions and help would be very appreciated. I have never done this myself, but info that I am finding says that 9x isnt really supported.

'I can't get the CD to boot' 95 cd's are not bootable. That was introduced with 98SE. 'I format the virtual disk using FDISK' Format & fdisk are two different things.

Okay.I went ahead and formated the disk, using the utility on the Windows 95 boot floppy.

I then created a directory on the C: drive called WIN95, and copied the contents of the WIN95 folder on the CD to that directory on the C: drive. I also discovered that hardware virtualization, when enabled on the VM, causes Win95 to crash. After unchecking it, it booted fine and is now working. BTW.I installed it in Virtual PC 2007.

Thanks for the help with formatting!
