Setup can still be completed, though this has the likelihood of causing missing file errors during Windows start-up or Device Manager in Windows showing issues afterwards. When this occurs, Setup is still expecting to find additional files on Drive R and although you can change the path to search for the required files elsewhere, it won’t let you access the CD as the driver for the CD-ROM wasn’t loaded. Also, in a following video, I explain how to dow. In this post, I’ll do the same thing, but use VMware instead of VirtualBox. Hello guys and welcome back to another video Today I will show you how to install Windows 95 in VirtualBox. If you have 95B and unused USB ports on your machine, the install files are on the CD in a folder named usb, inside a directory named other or click Go Get it The setup/install file is named usbsupp.exe.

This is because during installation the floppy boot disk is no longer required and will boot from the hard disk instead once most of the files are installed. In an earlier post, I used VirtualBox to create a Windows 95 virtual machine. 'USB should show in Device Manager if installed, or in Add/Remove programs. However yes, the VirtualBox SVGA emulation does supports 8bpp (256 colors), which you can access once you install a VESA driver such as BearWindows. Although one could start Setup from the Windows 95 CD with their CD-ROM drive as R, it tends to cause an issue during installation, in particular at the point of installing drivers in the final stage. SVGA supports a number of different configurable colour depths, the default is 16 color for backwards compatibility with VGA.

Retail and OSR 1 set the size no longer than 2GB, otherwise you may increase. Again as I’m using OSR 2.1 I’m going to increase it to 6.4 GB, an accurate size for a physical hard disk in the late 1990s.
