Installing Win98 in a DosBox Instance

[BDEE]

Anyone managed to complete this with success?

I have DosBox 0.74 and a genuine Windows 98 CD.

I can't get Windows to install in the DosBox instance.

I've tried by mounting the CD drive (it was worth a go....) and installing straight from it but of course that didn't work.

I created an .img file of the CD but now I can't get that to mount using the imgmount command - I get an error "Could not extract drive geomerty from image. Use parameter -size bps, spc,hpc,cyl to specify the gemoetry"

I am mounting C: as the folder where the image file is stored and then trying to img mount the img file to a: using the command:

imgmount a: c:\Win98.img

Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone knows of another way to get it running that would be cool.

Not head of this - Will have a look and give it a try out, thanks.

Got it installed on VirtualBox now but it seems to only give a viewable desktop area which is quite small in the middle of the screen and when I go full screen the viewable area stays the same and just gets surrounded by grey.

Will have a look at some of these other options too
