entre Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi all. I wasn't sure where to post ths because I have Windows 8. I have games that I can't play on Windows 8, so I want to install an older version of Windows on the same PC. I know I'm supposed to be able to play older programs on Windows 8, but that hasn't worked for these games...or actually for any program I've tried so far. I got a copy of Windows 95, downloaded and installed Virtual Box, set up a virtual machine, and inserted my disk. But it said "Fatal: No bootable medium found. System halted." As a test, I exited Virtual Box and clicked on SetUp on the Windows 95 cd as though I was going to install it without Virtual Box. It said, "This app can't run on your pc." Any advice?

Solution greenknight Posted May 9, 2013 Solution Share Posted May 9, 2013 You have to point the VM to the location where the OS is located. It's been several years since I used Virtual Box, so I couldn't remember the exact procedure off the top of my head, but a quick search found this page: http://superuser.com/questions/69202/virtualbox-fatal-no-bootable-medium-found-system-halted I only used ISO files in Virtual Box, myself. You could make an ISO from your Win95 disk, many CD burning programs can do that. They're said to load faster than a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entre Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I will check out that link, and I'll se if my CD burning program offers the option to make an ISO. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
