Hi, anyone has the imformation about install Windows 386 into a Guest
Machine?
There are a lot about Windows 2.03 but rarely about about this
version.I have tried to install it both with DOS 3.30a and DOS 5.00,
and both failed with a error massage said "error reading drive C",
which seemed caused by the file system.

Did you partition and format the C: drive before trying to do the
install?

Thanks for your reply.Ofcourse I have done that normal and installed a
copy of DOS succesively.In my understand the Windows 386 is not really
an OS and must installed on top of a DOS (like any early
valiations),should I be wrong?

If I remember correctly, the short-lived Windows 386 required DOS 6.0
or higher, and you must load the EMM386 extended memory driver in order
to run.

Thank you very much and I'll have a try. But The Windows386(Windows
version 2.10,1988) was earlier than DOS 6.0 (1993), Is that right?

As I recall, DOS 6.00 came out in early '88 and 6.1 in early '89. The
final offical version 6.22 came out in early '90. I won't swear to it,
but that is the time line I recall.

I just looked at my Windows 3.11 VM and the files in the DOS directory
(DOS 6.22) are saying early '90.
