Install Windows 2000 In Dosbox. DOS Soundblaster Emulator for Windows NT/2000/XP If you are running Windows NT/2000/XP and would like to have sound in your DOS. Windows 2000 and XP require Pentium instructions that are not emulated by DOSBox, so they won't run. Windows 95 is actually not really built on top of DOS either. It runs its own 32-bit multitasking kernel (VMM32.VXD), and only uses DOS as a bootloader and compatibility layer for old 16-bit drivers. I've never tried NT 3.x or 4.0 on DOSBox, though, but I don't expect them to run. DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X.

When I try to install Windows 98 in DOSBox, it waits forever at the Setup system check forever. What should I do?

Windows 98 Second Edition
Are you installing to an image file? Windows 98 isn't meant to install in DOSbox otherwise. Keep in mind though, that the drivers will all be 16-bit and hence the installation will run very slowly, if at all. If you've still got your heart set on it though, there should be installation guides on the net. Check the VOGONS forums too, they normally have stuff like that.
VP2k7 is a better option, as the posters above have stated, though an older version of VMware Player would do the job as well. Not VirtualBox, it doesn't support Windows 9x too well...

Installing Windows98 on DOSBox will be a bit of a problem...Just use a diffrent OS Emulation. You can try older versions of Virtual PC or Vmware

It's a bit of a pain in the ar*e, but it's possible. It's a shortened version (with a lot less pics) of a how-to I wrote Last year.
Here's how to:
First off: This Guide is not supported by the creators of Dosbox. Dosbox’s main goal is to emulate enough of dos to play dos games, and not Win9x. Also This Guide might or might not work for you.
First off things you will need:
1: DOSBox Megabuild6 - For creating the HD
2: Win 98se (that’s what I’ve got) Installation CD
3: WinImage
4: ykhwong's latest build.
6: a dos6 Boot disk
7: some computer knowledge
A ) HD creation and setup
1: Install Megabuild6. start it. Type the following command:
Imgmake c.img -t hd_2gig -nofs -bat

Once it's finished you should have 2 files: c.img and c.bat
2: extract ykhwong's latest build to something like c:dosbox9x (to differentiate it with dosbox standard). Move c.img and the dos6 boot disk to this directory.
add the following (if you use the same names as I do) to dosbox.conf
[glide]
glide=emu
[autoexec]
imgmount 0 dos6.ima -t floppy -fs none
imgmount 2 c.img -t hdd -fs none -size 512,63,64,1023
boot -l a

Will give you
3: Once dos started type in
fdisk
. Then create a primary partition, then follow the prompts until it finish, it should restart dosbox. when you're bock in dosbox at the a> prompt, type in
format c: s

4: Once it's finished. exit dosbox. Start Winimage and load c.img with it. It should ask what partition to connect, just accept the standard one offered. On the menubar use Image > create folder, to create a folder called something like win98. Go into the Directory by double clicking on it. then select on the menubar > Image > Inject a folder. Point it to your 98se (the one with all the cab files). Close Winimage.
B )Install Windows
1: In dosbox.conf remove the dos6 imgmount and change the following boot from a to c. Should look like this:
imgmount 2 c.img -t hdd -fs none -size 512,63,64,1023
boot -l c

2: Start Dosbox, It might ask what to boot F1 for dos or F2 for disk 2, just press enter. It should load dos. use the following to start installing windows (if you used the same folder name as me)
cd win98
setup

3: Enjoy setting up windows like on a real pc.

Yeah, it's because VMware is so unreliable.

Just go with VMware Workstation which is what I use at work. Virtual PC doesn't support snapshots and it's a huge limiting factor when you just have to revert to an earlier snapshot before you messed up.

Publisher's Description

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes it very easy to port to different platforms. It has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X. It also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.

This is the only way to run Scorched Earth under 32-bit Windows Vista and 7. Apparently after Windows XP Microsoft removed all support for 16-bit DOS apps.

FatBastard reviewed v0.74 on May 12, 2010

If you ever used DOS back in the old days it's impossible not to love DOSBox :)

Reverb reviewed v0.72 on Aug 28, 2007

Excellent work and a must have for legacy DOS based games and applications. This is not the same as VMWare or similar virtual machines - this is a self-contained emulator. VMWare, Parallels etc require you to install DOS, all sound, CD-ROM, VESA VBE drivers yourself. This is a stand-alone utility that has a built-in DOS command interpreter, ADLIB/SB/SBPRO/SB16/GUS et al sound drivers and VESA video. It does not require virtual hard drives you simply mount a directory of your choice and assign a drive letter.
For certain games this works better than virtualization. I like the fact that you can adjust the CPU clock cycles for older games that run too fast on today's machines. (Wing Commander is a perfect example).
If you were considering setting up a VMWare DOS environment but don't want to go through all the fun of tweaking CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get maximum base memory try this instead. Highly recommended. Also check the forums, lots of helpful advice on getting your old apps to run.

But why not taking DRDOS/NovellDOS and have a multiboot system?!
... ran fine with Win98, but don't know how it works on a NTFS-File-System.

A masterpiece if you ask me.
Ok, emulation is not 100% correct, it might be only 95% ish. So I give it 95% of 5 stars, rounded to the closest integer.

it's a good program, but I'm having a problem with the mouse, I have a game that requires a mouse diver to be loaded, the built in one sucks, and I can't load a 3rd party mouse driver because there is already a mouse driver loaded... however it a good reminder of Dos and an excellent compatibility layer ... once I get this mouse driver issue resolved it'll be great...
