setup help

[spknrich]

I'm new to virtualBox and am having some difficulty and would like help. I have the most current version of Virtualbox.
My computer uses Vista. I am trying to load Win95 in VirtualBox. I created a boot floppy since Win95 would not boot directly from the CD. My boot order is set as Floppy then CD/DVD.
When I start the VM it boots up to an A:\> prompt. The only other drive I can get it to recognize is B but it is the same as A. All others just read "invalid drive specification". My CD drive is set as E.
Where do I go from here to get Win95 installed?

You need a bootdisk with cd-rom driver on it.
Two examples I found on the net:
http://1gighost.com/ed/brandy/boot95a.exe
http://1gighost.com/ed/brandy/boot95b.exe

To use them you need a computer with windows and a floppy drive.
Or get vfd which is a virtual floppy driver.

I've been using the Boot95A that you posted.

Ok what exactly do you see on the screen after boot?

It first says "Starting Windows 95" then boots to the following:

CD-Rom Device Driver for IDE (four channels supported)
Driver version :V340
Device Name :Banana
Transfer mode : Programmed I/O
Drive O: Port=170 (secondary channel), master IRQ=15
Firmware version 1.0

MSCDEX version 2.25
Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1986-1995 All Rights Reserved
Drive R: = Driver Banana unit 0
A:\>


OK...so R is my CD Rom and I can get it to read it. How do I set it up from here?
Running SETUP gives me the message "Cannot create a temporary directory. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up Windows"
