WINDOW 95 PROBLEM

Post by fishflakes »

hey, i am trying to use windows 95 on my macbook to play an old game. i used an iso and it successfully installs apart from when it goes to finish the setup it says i still have a floppy disk inserted and to take it out.... i don't have a floppy disk drive?? it exits after i hit enter anyway but when i start it up, it says to "exit setup" as i have already installed then when i press enter the screen goes black with a message x:\win95>

what does this mean? the only thing it understands is if i type in setup, then it makes me setup the whole thing again.... :cry:


*btw i don't know where this post belongs ha*

So obviously you still have the install-media attached to the VM. Did you try to remove that CD/iso?

come on. You know there is a manual, don't you?

Depending on whether you connected a physical CD drive or an iso-image to the vm:
- open the drive and remove the cd
- stop the vm, edit the config and remove the iso in the storage section
- or change the boot order in the vm-configuration
