Problems with Windows 3.11 for workgroups

Post by vlad557776 »

Hello. Recently, I installed Windows 3.11 for workgroups on a MS-DOS 7 VM. Everything was normal, but, if I insert floppy disk (of course, virtual), I can't load into Windows. It's showing some FAT error. It already happened 2 times. So I need to reinstall Windows. Can you please tell me what is it?

Maybe there is indeed a FAT error? How die you create the floppies?

BTW, there's no official MS-DOS 7, so I don't know where you got yours...
