guest

guest

is there a zip file instead of a tar.gz?

kirsle

Download WinRAR, it can open tar.gz (I thought the latest WinZip would too though but not sure about that).

guest

is for windows or linux?

guest

I have a oracle virtualbox.It same than MSDOS

guest

To open any basic zipped or compressed file (even some executables), download 7ZIP - http://www.7-zip.org/

guest

Why would anyone want to go back to the so called good old days. Windows is much better now than it ever has been.

I can offer my 2 reasons - Need (I have an old 3.1 Image Editor that I love (ProImage Plus) which has worked throughout the years until 64bit, now its dead - I hope this will let me keep on using it and 2 - A Trip Down Memory Lane.

Thanks for the Post.

guest

Thanks for downloading, Kirsle. My first setup floppy is unreadable and I need a dos vm for a legacy app... thanks again.

guest

Thanks. This brought back a lot of good memories. I installed it on a 32bit netbook just for kicks. You should hear some of the comments I get when I go into the local coffee shop to use the wifi internet with it. (c:}

guest

Thank you so much!!! I have my old floppies in a frame on the wall (no way to install them). Now I am able to play Warcraft Orcs vs Humans on my Mac...

I am having a personal "nerd Fest" right now.

guest

Thanks for the files. You saved the day!

Very kind of you, but the disk images are damaged. Just mount image 6 and run "dir". I tried to install with them and windows won't launch; a bunch of its executables are zero-length

guest

Awesome!!! I don't need to take out the dust of my old floppy drive!!!

guest

Thanks! This works well when you need to bypass the windows 98 upgrades disc setup programs request to verify your right to use it. And by the way, cool website. did you buy this from a hosting site or did you set up your own server rack at home?

guest

Okay, so the install of Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 6.22 in a VM on QEMU went without any problems, except for one peculiar problem: WQGHLT does what it needs to do (frees CPU cycles), but DOSIDLE does not. Also, when putting it in my AUTOEXEC, the whole system either freezes on startup (more common), or it gives a 'divide error' (or similar), keeping one of my cores at 100%. The effect is particularly noticeable when going into Windows 3.1, equipped with WQGHLT, from the command prompt, and seeing the usage in Task Manager on the host system go down significantly.

Am I doing something wrong here?

kirsle

I haven't tested running this in QEMU, only VirtualBox. If you just run DOSIDLE.EXE by itself does it help? If so, the autoexec might just be wrong.

IIRC, you just have a line in autoexec.bat like this:

C:\DOSIDLE\DOSIDLE.EXE

guest

@Kirsle All right, I changed the hard drive format from VHD to VMDK and the problem no longer exists.

Odd.

guest

Having a problem trying to put this on an old Dell Latitude. Doesn't matter if I'm trying to install Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS, if I try to boot from one of the floppies I get this message: Remove disks and other media. \ Press any key to restart.

I'm fairly certain there isn't a problem with the floppy drive because I'm able to boot an MS-DOS startup disk I created with the Windows Explorer format tool (in Windows 7). I've tried booting this startup disk, then switched to an MS-DOS floppy, then ran SETUP from there but it then get a message: To install MS-DOS, insert Setup Disk 1 in drive A and press CTRL+ALT+DEL. This will restart your computer and begin the setup program.

Is there something I need to do to make these floppies bootable or something before I copy the image over to them?

guest

very decent support for a dino os!
i realy like your stuff, and i combine it with : http://cwshep.blogspot.de/2009/04/printing-from-dos-in-virtualbox.html

guest

Very good archive,
Thanks a lot!

guest

Great!

guest

how to download it

guest

i wanted to use MS-DOS

guest

@Kirsle
The MS-DOS floppies don't work really well in VirtualBox 4.2.*. I've tried to insert the 2nd floppy when it requests for it, but it always freezes (even CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work) so I have to reset the VM. MS VPC 2007/Win VPC works a little bit better.

kirsle

That's weird. I just tested it in VirtualBox 4.2.0 and it managed to install DOS successfully (this is on a Fedora Linux host though).

guest

@Kirsle
It probably didn't work for me because I'm running a Micro$oft Window$ host, does that make any difference?
Thanks!

@Kirsle
I installed it successfully on my Windows OS with VirtualBox 4.1.8 like, say, 2 months ago.
FYI, I've used the command "vboxmanage" to convert the VDI image provided in your tarball to a VHD image. I tested it on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, but your Windows 3.1 (in 386 Enh. Mode) would not boot for a full 1.5 minutes after I typed "WIN" in the DOS prompt. It also gives you those funny errors like this:

PROGMAN.EXE caused a General Protection Fault in XXXX:YYYY.

Then, it makes you go back to MS-DOS.

Please Help...

I really need Windows 3.1 for the sole purpose of using Paint. Without getting technical (coz I'd only confuse myself!!!) Paint on this version of windows was different from what it is today and that's the one I need!!).

I've read comments etc on here, but I really haven't got a clue about computers.

Please could someone be kind enough to explain to me how I could install this version of Windows on my PC, or maybe I could install it on another old PC I could get my hands to avoid losing data on my lovely new PC.

I would very much appreciate it so m if someone could please tell me step by step how I can install this using the links on this web page?

Many many thanks in advance

Jayne

Whoa! THese are great! Thanks so much. I have never been allowed to properly install windows from scratch (well, I did do a reinstall of XP but that's different) but now I can expirence what it was like to install from DOS from scratch, thanks thanks so so sos sooooooo MUCH!

guest

well shit how thee fuck are you gonna get the right file from the 80 mb you dumb stupid bitch\

guest

Maybe you are just to stupid to understand.

guest

Hey, do you know if I would be able to run this version of windows off of a USB on a modern (2009) laptop that I took the C: drive out of?

guest

Thanks! Great to have these images - I have the floppies, but no floppy drive. Funny they're still called floppies when real floppies disappeared long before these came out. Floppies were the real deal when tape drives cost thousands. Sic transit omnia.

guest

Thanks bro
