*but* please keep in mind that being able to launch any such previous version of MS-DOS this way, makes no sense imho in virtual environments like DOSBox. MDGx Windows 95/98/ME Complete MSDOS.SYS Reference - Windows 95 - 98 Startup Menu + Bootup Keys I am pointing out, there are also quite a few video tutorials about that subject on YouTube.įor the record, if a previous older OS is already installed on one's HDD, and then if Windows 95 is *properly* installed on top of it afterwards, then it is still possible to launch that old previous OS from Windows 95's startup menu, under the 'Previous version of MS-DOS' option:

It will allow you to install Windows 95 (plus MS-DOS 7, which Windows 95 requires) on a brand new, bootable hard disk image. I believe that the MS-DOS 7 startup system files should have taken precedence over the MS-DOS 5.00 startup system files, so that MS-DOS 7 is loaded on boot / startup, and not MS-DOS 5.00Īgain, you really should follow the instructions from the guide in my first post. Open this file using notepad or a similar text editor. Locate the configuration file, in DosBox Daum this is called nf.


We will be utilizing the DosBox Daum build. I will assume something is wrong with your installation of Windows 95 on top of MS-DOS 5.00. Once you have extracted or installed the various versions, it is now time to prepare them for proper use with windows.
