Hello,
I an trying to install windows 1.0 alpha to see what it was like (The very first windows!) as it predates my birth by more than 10 years (lol). I have installed MS-DOS 5.0, but when I try to install windows 1.0 "alpha"(I will stop saying alpha now fyi) I "insert" the first floppy (form the zip file at this site) and run install.exe it wants me to insert a diskette into drive B what do I put in there?

P.S. I am using VirtualBox

Thanks

    If I recall correctly that setup shouldn't be using drive B:\ although I've never ran it with a 2nd disk drive.

    It should be back and forth between the 5 or so disk images in drive A:
  • dosboxdosbox
    I am not sure that vbox works with 5.25" floppies
  • TCPMetaTCPMeta
    It wants to put the fiIes onto the second drive because it has no hard drive support, you couId try and edit the fiIes with a text editor and see if you can change around the target drive from B to C
