* Importing and exporting files from guest OS to host OS: 1) By using FTP, it is theoretically possible to exchange files between the two OSes while the emulation is running. 4) Use fdisk and format from the virtual boot floppy to prepare the virtual hard-disk.

3) Download the free.Įxtract an uncompressed image of the boot floppy with it and set it as floppy drive in Qemu Manager. 1) If needed, download the correct boot floppy image self extractor: 2) Write it to a floppy disk. * Installing Win95 For Win95 you'll need also to create a boot floppy image as the Win95 install CDs are not bootable (at least the ones I have got, Win 95 upgrade and Win95B). 12) Start your virtual machine by clicking on the green start button on the taskbar. 11) Go in the newly created virtual machine options and select to boot on CD.īrowse to your CD image.

QEMU is very easy to setup and use use with the help of Qemu Manager and a few other free GUI tools: * Installing Win98SE/ME 1) Get QEMU for Windows itself: 2) Get the Qemu Manager: 3) Unpack all that somewhere. Just follow the few easy steps and in a few hours you'll be running not only a fast and responsive (on recent hardware) but also a very usefull 9x emulation under your 9x OS. Highly recommended for poor service packs creators and testers alike as it's all free.

Installing, running and working with 9x virtual PCs under 98/ME systems with QEMU made very easy.
