I'm having an issue with installing Windows 95.
I'm using Vista and I have VMWare Workstation 6.5.1.
I have a Windows 95 CD, which Vista recognizes and I can browse.
I don't have a boot disk (per se), but I have a boot *.img which I downloaded from .
I created a VM without OS to install into, put the CD in the computer, point the floppy at the IMG and start it. It boots up from the *.img and i can format a C: for the install.
The problem is the VM doesn't "see" the CD. I can't go to the 😧 drive as I've seen in several posts for how to do this. I've tried changing the VMware CD device from automatic to every other setting possible with the same result.
The boot images (from the link above) im using have CD support. The boot says it's loading a CD ROM Driver. That's all though. I can't actually go to 😧 (or any other letter besides C:, which is the hard drive).
Could use suggestions on how to get this to work.
make sure the CD has the "legacy emulation" checkbox checked.
Please post which floppy you downloaded exactly

Okay,
Actually, I was wrong. It seems to have given me an R: for my CD. No clue why.
