How do I install Windows 1.0 DR5 on PCem?

Post by Windows Alfie »

Hello, I've been having loads of issues with 1.0 DR5 and how to install it on PCem.

I know I need to have AT or XT from IBM loaded. Got that.

But.... I don't get the rest.

If someone could do a screenshotted step by step guide or something.

I really do need help.

Have a IBM PC-DOS 2.x disk image, partition and format the HDD with it.
SYS the entire HDD with "sys c:" and copy all DOS files there, then make a folder named "setup" (or one you choose) with "md C:\setup" and place install.bat from DR5's Disk1 to that folder through "copy A:\install.bat C:\setup".
Run install.bat from that folder, then proceed to what the installation says (but make sure Disk1 is still inserted, initially).
