1.
Microsoft Virtual Machine. Which virtual machine and service pack are you using (e.g. Virtual PC 2007 SP1)?
2.
Host Operating System. What is the version and service pack of your "host" operating system? That would be the "real" operating system running on your computer.
3.
Windows 3.1 Disk Set. Is this a "Retail" or "OEM" set?
4.
DOS 6.22 Boot Disk. Download and make the boot floppy from
www.bootdisk.com. I assume you want the 3.5 inch 1.44 MB version.
You may boot the virtual machine (not the real computer) from this floppy and use the following commands to set up your "virtual" hard drive.
a.
fdisk - to partition the "virtual" hard drive.
b.
format - the partition(s) of the "virtual" hard drive with the FAT16 file system.
c.
sys - the primary active partition of the "virtual" hard drive to place the system files required to boot on it.
Note: You may look up the proper syntax and options for these commands.
Be sure to perform the commands on the "virtual" hard drive, not the "real" hard drive.5.
