captainamer71 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks for trying you. I have already been there that is not it. This is a WIN 3.1 boot disk win 3.1 actually loads up off the disk. it is not a dos boot disk. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainamer71 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Ok I was actually able to find it somewhere else. It is called Mini Win 3.1.Windows v3.1 on a floppy disk! Small INI and other configuration files plus batch files to automate building a bootable 1.44 meg floppy diskette that installs a working W31 onto a 2 meg ramdrive using either MSDOS v6.22 (or a compatible DOS clone) or W9x MSDOS v7.x or higher to read partitions larger than 2 gigabytes! PeepHole will boot and execute W31 on a machine that has NO hard drive!Mini-Windows is a compact version of windows 3.1 on a bootable DOS 7.1 1.68MB floppy disk.This is not the exact version of what I used to have but close enough.URLS in case anyone is interested.http://mw16.2ya.com/http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/dos/ph_w31.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I did a lengthy discussion at 911forums on doing windows 3.1 on a cdrom and ramdrive. But yes, you can do windows 3.1 on a floppy, usually involves unpacking an archive to a ramdisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainamer71 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 So I guess I am being told that this was the correct place to ask my question for win 3.1 ???? the game software hangout? I guess I never thought of win 3.1 on a floppy as a gaming o/s. And just when I was getting to like msfn now i have someone that is gonna refile my posts.
