I’ve searched the internet for a few days now, and i cannot find any tutorial that works for installing windows 98 to magic dosbox.

So far i: mount the iso in the gui, open
MDosbox, the “cd” does not autorun, so i type:

d:
setup

And it sticks at something like

“Setup is about to perform a routine check on your system… ‘please wait while setup initializes…’ ‘Press Enter to continue Setup… press Esc to cancel…”

And i have to reboot since it won’t let me cancel.

I tried typing: copy d:\win98 c:\win98

and running setup from there, but it’s the same issue.

Any idea? Posting here is my last resort. I haven’t found any info on the entire internet.

Edit: I’ve followed this guide: https://leo3418.github.io/2023/01/03/windows-98-in-vanilla-dosbox.html

But i get stopped at the mounting hdd.img as C:

It tells me it’s already mounted as C, but it’s not.

Edit:

So i need to mount the C drive while in the Z drive, but i can’t specify any img paths while in the Z drive.

How do i mount a img to C while in Z?

Edit: i’ve installed windows 98se, but after 1 second it freezes at the password type in window, how to fix this?

Edit: fixed the freezing, now windows 98se is booting up into a blank screen, i can move the cursor around but nothing’s there. Any ideas?

Edit: i was accidentally loading f and c in the auto exec so it couldn’t find any files, i changed both drives to f and windows 98se is perfect now.
