iso to floppy 3.55 inch
« on: August 01, 2010, 10:05:35 AM »
ok i downloaded a cd rom driver for windows 3.1 and the readme that came with it told me to mount the iso onto a floppy but i have no idea how to do this? Any ideas? Please.

I did install win using a cd thought. I inserted the win 98 boot disk and it ran the cd rom driver thats how i got it installed. you see i want sound but when i click for win to find a driver it tells me to insert floppy # idk 4 i think and in the file manager i have no cd rom

my system
90 MHz processor
20 Mb RAM
512 mb hdd

Ps. I know its wired to have 20 mb but that what it has and this is a Compaq Presario cds 744

Insert Windows Disk #4 from the copy that you have obviously obtained through legal means.

There is no CD of Windows 3.1. Therefore you must be in possession of an unlicensed copy. You are a bad person. Make sure your pets know this.

I wonder if comda is also the guy (with a post count of 1) who has the files of the MS-DOS 6.22 floppy disk set "on a CD"?

It it an official Compaq disk? If so, it's probably a recovery disk.

You need to edit c:\config.sys and c:\autoexec.bat on your hard drive to load an MS-DOS CD-ROM driver. Plenty of Windows 3.1 FAQ websites will tell you how to do this.
