Keyboard not working in Windows 1.04

Post by ComboOfWombo »

I'm trying to install Windows 1.04 in VirtualBox, and it install just fine, but when I boot into Windows, the keyboard just completely stops responding. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
PS: forgot to mention I'm running under IBM PC-DOS 3.1

Already tried that, didn't work. Kept giving me an error along the lines of "No fixed hard disk"

I've tried the IBM XT and IBM PC, but DOS throws up that error I mentioned when I try to fdisk
