Re: Virtual PC Win 3.11

One problem: When you get the cd-rom driver (oakcdrom.sys cpqidecd.sys or whatever else) how do you get it to the guest OS since windows 3.1 doesn't have any virtual machine additions? you could use a floppy if you have one, but what if you don't? The only way I can think of is create another virtual machine with a higher operating system, add the virtual hard disk that has windows 3.1 as hard disk 2, then copy the file over. lengthy if you don't already have another virtual os running.
i suppose it'd be easier to do it if you could create a floppy image, but i wouldn't know how to.
