Re: Need help setting up multiboot with Win 95

I am sorry if this question doesnt belong here.

I created a 540 MB FAT partition at the beginning of hard drive
0. I
use Bootit NG. I am trying to install windows 95 on this partition
but I keep getting the errors "insufficient memory to initialize
windows" and
"while intializing IOS Windows protection error." I added the lines
MaxPhysPage=30000, MinFileCache=51200 and MaxFileCache=56320 to my
system.ini file and that stopped the memory error only to be replaced
by the IOS error. I turned off the L2 cache to stop the IOS error and
then I
received the error "insufficient memory to initialize windows" again.

I have an Asus K8V mb and an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2 GHz with 1.5
GB ram


It sounds like the AMDK62upd.exe fix could fix this problem if I
could
only start windows but it wont even start in safe mode. Does anyone
know what I can do to get Win 95 to start?

As the others have told you, it may not be possible to run Win95 on your
hardware. A better solution is to install Virtual PC 2004 (free) or
VMWare (free) and create a virtual machine for Win95. Then you don't
need to dual-boot and the hardware needed for Win95 will be emulated.
