If all you want to do is run Windows v1 to see what it looks like, then there is another way to do that. Nathan Lineback put together a boot-disk that contains Windows v1 and will boot straight into it. Here's the link:
I tried it once and it seems to work all right. Not extremely functional, I don't remember if it even finds the hard drive or not, but it is neat to look at once or twice.
I tried to install it on DOS 4.01, but no luck... Dos 3.30 fails to boot at all. Unsupported image format.
Try to download another copy of 4.01 or 3.3x...then use WinImage to extract it to a disk.
Remember, the images for earlier versions of DOS were based off the old 720K floppy disks so you might have to convert a 1.44MB floppy into a 720K floppy...WinImage can do that too. Also make sure that your using hardware designed for it. A 286, 100MB or so hard drive, at least 1MB of RAM..

I know it works on DOS 5, but did you try using an earlier version of DOS?

PS. O no! It's Toasted Crap!
It worked for me.
Oh well, maybe different programs for emulation programs.
I used VPC.

Windows 1.01 needs like 256K and itll run fine on just 640K
And if you use WinImage you can make a 720K image 1.44Mb and use a 1.44Mb Floppy.

I always use 50% of my ram in VMware. (50% = 512 MB) (I have 1024 mb of ram, and a 4 gig page file)
