BOCHS 2.0 Win32 Question:

Post by Mastermind »

Hello

This is the first time I'm using Bochs under WinXP. When I tried to use the Linux image that came with Bochs, i get a message saying that "BXSHARE" cannot be found. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

OK, i've got the dos floppy image working. i've also got a 10 mb hdd in ata0. i can boot up from the floppy, but how do i use dos to navigate to the c: ?

I've got the feeling that c: is not formatted. is it? if yes, i'd have to use fdisk on it.

You might find it useful to download one of the small FreeDOS images (http://freedos.sf.net/). I use an installation disk which includes COMMAND.COM, FDISK, FORMAT and SYS.
