[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

Still nothing new, no one?

[CDShell Themes 2]

convert -csi2bmp -o output.bmp input.csi

For the graphic mode, to convert a BMP image (256 colors max - 640x480) to a CSI one, it's "convert -bmp2csi -o output.bmp input.csi"

But that's not really new, IMO the most impressive is the text mode. It's the first time I see something like that with CDShell

Have you tested my CDShell.ini?

nice, is that graphic thingy the boot menu from the  bootup process after you hit " press any key to boot" ?

Nearly...

The splash screen before (if the PC is compliant), and the other screens after.

and if so how did you get it like that...

Check my CDShell.ini.

Except what Alanoll gives you, all you need is in

[CDShell Themes 2]

Text mode (the screen copies are a bit flattened, sorry)

So as you can see, my text mode uses menus, IMO far more convenient than the classical CDShell screens.

Indeed if you want to test... here is my cdshell.ini file

Enjoy!

P.S. 1: this text mode menus come from ZULU NINER...

...but have been modified to fix a bug and add new features as the possibility the set choices without sub menus (sub choices).

P.S. 2: A detailed topic on the subject for French people can be found here...

AaronXP, here is my suggest

First of all, at the start of CDShell a test verify if the PC is graphic mode compliant. If the answer is yes it will boot on it, and if it's no it will boot on the text mode.

Here is the screen shots... (sorry it's in french)

Graphic mode

Thanks!

[how to ad Windows 3.1 and 3.11 to the mutliboot cd]

- Just put all the files of the 6 floppy disks in a single directory

- Find or create a DOS boot disk image with CD/DVD support

- Add a line to launch the Windows SETUP.EXE (or INSTALL.EXE) at the end of Autoexec.bat

- And add a choice to run this image in your CDShell boot menu

And it works fine

P.S.: you can add MS-DOS too...

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

No idea?

Nobody ever add Windows 95 on such a DVD, using CDShell?

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

do you use any switches?

try the /nf switch when calling the Win95 setup

No I don't. But /nf seems to be Win 98 only

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

Arf... it doesn't work

Booting on a floppy disk (write protected as a DVD) and running the install.exe of 95 on the DVD works fine.

But booting on the SAME FD image on the DVD, via CDShell +Memdisk, or +DiskEmu, or +bcdw, and running the install.exe of 95 on the DVD does NOT work!!!

Any idea?

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

you could always try the diskemu part of CDShell.

Yep, that's an idea!

I didn't know it was possible.

Thanks. I'll try this

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

Thanks for your replies!

windows  95 has problems running at over 350mhz also if your running a amd processor your going to have problems as well...

Perhaps but that's not the reason of the issue.

If I can install Win 95 on the PC without any issue.

...you seem very inpatient and the best things in life come to those who wait

Yes & no. I didn't ask this question this last hour, it was one week ago, but it's right that as all the other OS works...

- MS-DOS 6.22

- PC-DOS 6.3

- Windows 3.11

- Windows 3.11 for WorkGroups

- Windows 98

- Windows 98 SE

- Windows Me

- Windows 2000 Pro

- Windows 2000 Server

- Windows XP Pro corporate

- Windows Entreprise Server 2003 corporate

...I'm quite "impatient" to solve the 95/95 OSR-2.1 case

It could be that Windows 95 is just too old.

Not more than MS-DOS 6.22

Have you tried copying the setup files from Win95 setup dir to a folder on the harddrive, and then starting setup?

Nop.

But I really think that it's just a memory management issue caused by CDShell/IsoLinux/Memdisk used to run the FD.

If I use the SAME FD image on a real FD (even write protected, as on a DVD), boot on it and run manually install.exe of 95 on the multiple OS DVD it works fine!

Moreover, I have a friend for who it works using "DiskEmu"!

But as I have my boot script (which works for all the other OS) on CDShell...

So that's why I ask if someone has already succeed to add Win 95 to a multiple OS DVD using CDShell.

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

No one has an idea?

No one try?

No one succeed?

Thanks for your help!

[How to add Win 95 on a Multi-boot DVD?]

Does anyone know how to add Windows 95 on a Multi-boot DVD using CDShell?

I tried many boot disks (MS-DOS 6.22, 95 & 98) but it always failed. The setup freeze just after the licence agreement

It seems to be a memory issue as one time I got an error message asking me to modify the "stack" value in "config.sys"; but it didn't change anything

Any idea or procedure?

Thanks very much for your help
