can you tell me how can I install Win 95? if I'm not mistaken you need the MS-DOS but I can not go in D:! you can help me?

You don't need to go to D. You install DOS first (from floppies), then you run the Win95 installer, which is a DOS application on more floppies. The Win95 installer was sometimes available as a single stack of floppies which included DOS and was intended for bare PCs. Win95 predates bootable CDs so don't expect a simple CD install.

If you mean that you have a mysteriously obtained non-bootable data CD ISO containing the Win95 install files, then you still need to install DOS first, then install a CD driver (details in the DOS howtos and on Google), then run the installer from the virtual CD drive (i.e. the ISO).

i have a .iso of Win 95

Where did it come from?

And what is on it? As I said, there is AFAIK no official install CD for Win95.

That's not true. I had a Win95C CD Version, which was able to boot from, so it was not nessesary to install DOS separatly 1st.

Bootable CD installers did not become the norm until Win98SE (i.e. even the original Win98 didn't have it), so I don't know where your "Win95C" came from. In fact I don't remember hearing about "Win95C" before. AFAIK there was Win95, then Win95 OSR2, then Win98.

I suspect that Win95C is not official, it sounds like a late and unofficial rollup. If it's available on a bootable CD then it must date from around the Win98SE era.

Sure it was official.

I don't accept your selected authority. I'd be more impressed if you referenced a Microsoft page, or even showed a picture of a Microsoft hologrammed install CD. E.g. you mentioned that you own one?

I don't own such old Windows versions anymore.
The CD was an OEM CD, which was part of the computer i have byed.

I the only picture i can find, and those versions only exist as oem (date 1297).
In principle this was already a little Windows 98 version.

But this all is a little OT in this thread, so i will stop here.

but I have a CD, not the virtual one, original of Win 95, the problem is that DOS does not let me go in D: but in A: yes

I installed Win 95, but it tells me that: "Windows protection error" every time I boot it, how do I do it?

Have you followed the tutorials?

• Tutorial: Windows 95/98 guest OSes
• Windows 98SE step by step
• Win98SE with ACPI - Success At Last!

The first is more relevant that the other two, but you might get some ideas...

PS. I removed your duplicate post, I believe that you are still having the same problem, installing Windows 95. Keep in mind that according to the forum rules, duplicate posts are not allowed. It's not good etiquette...

yes, but they do not say anything about Win 95 Windows protection error
look this:

This probably means that you have not properly configured the memory manager in DOS (himem/emm386). These need to be configured in CONFIG.SYS.
