HDD Image Dunnos #4168

Open inukaze opened 1 year ago

inukaze commented 1 year ago

Question

Hi there again, today i had installed Win98SE Spanish version inside DOSBox-X 2023.03.31.

Well i had create a 512MB FAT16 HDD Image. and well is not enough for install things like :

Adobe Reader 6.0 Internet Explorer 6.0 DirectX 9.0c etc . . .

The dunnos : 1 - If possible edit the hdd image size from 512MB to put on 2052 MB?

2 - In the case the first option are not possible, then how i can dump the boot sector to file to create a new hdd image and import that boot sector information to new image with 2052 MB ?

Have you checked that no similar question(s) exist?

It's possible to create images around 2GB: see in the wiki. I would recommend using 1900MB instead of 2052MB, just to be sure you don't go over some limit in DOSbox, tools/OS, etc.

Boot sector - try to "move" that via the SYS command (if needed, from inside guest MS-DOS/Win9x) or use the Win98 installer to do it. I think the other direct/manual ways are more cumbersome.

I think he is asking to "resize" an existing HDD image. That may be possible with tools like gparted, although I have not tried it.

¿You know where i can download a gparted version port for Windows 7 64 Bits? just for make that test.

Meanwhile i am looking for Spanish Software for Windows 98 Second Edition and some another softwares like Shareware / Demo versions of videogames like :

Because i had install DirectX 9.0c inside the Windows98SE, but when i press "Screen 2" tab, and try to make "Direct3D" test i got the follow message :

DOSBox-x-win98se-dx90c-d3dfail

Which are the better drivers for S3 with 4M, and Voodo? The emulated Voodoo for W98SE which is? i can force to be Voodoo Banshee? is just for test if that error is not produced by that way

i had re-created images of 2GB in FAT 16, but my first idea is make a 3GB Max HDD Image, just for make the first test, and after all installations of drivers and programs i need and see works fine. delete the things i really don't need, because i test a lot of sofware

if i dont bad remember i was use the command : 

imgmake w98se_c.img -t hd_2gig -fat 16
imgmake w98se_e.img -t hd_2gig -fat 16

Suggested Win98 drivers are listed on the dosbox-x wiki, as mentioned there are no updated S3 Trio64 drivers.

You can try forcing the location on the IDE controller by adding the -ide option, such as -ide 1m to set it as the primary ide as master. But I still think Windows 9x is going to map all HDDs before a CD-ROM drive.

And you must imgmount a floppy/cd-rom BEFORE booting Win9x, or otherwise you will not be able to change the floppy/cd-rom from the menus.

This is all covered on the wiki.

#  ne2000: Enable NE2000 Ethernet emulation. Either pcap or slirp backend can be used, switchable via "backend" option.
#            Settings for the pcap and slirp backends can be found in the [ethernet, pcap] and [ethernet, slirp] sections.
#            Once properly set, load the NE2000 packet driver inside DOSBox-X with base address and interrupt specified below.
# nicbase: The base address of the NE2000 board.
#  nicirq: The interrupt it uses. Note serial2 uses IRQ3 as default.
# macaddr: The MAC address the emulator will use for its network adapter.
#            If you have multiple DOSBox-Xes running on the same network,
#            this has to be changed for each. AC:DE:48 is an address range reserved for
#            private use, so modify the last three number blocks, e.g. AC:DE:48:88:99:AB.
# backend: The backend (either pcap or slirp is supported) used for the NE2000 Ethernet emulation.
#            If set to "auto", then "slirp" is selected when available, otherwise "pcap" is selected when available.
#            NE2000 Ethernet emulation will be disabled if no backend is available (or the specified backend if unavailable).

#Important : i am using wireless connection
# The Pre-Requsites are :
# 01 - install WinPCAP, and check yes the option start with windows boot, after of that
# 02 - Go the Network Interfaces select "Wireless" and "LAN Connection" and secondary click and use "Bridge"
# 03 - Restart the real host machine, now when you use dosbox-x you can use the "Help" menu and the option "List Network Interfaces"
#
# Now here on the configuration file for DOSBox-x Windows 98 SE :
# The First i must set macaddr="Microsoft MAC Bridge Virtual NIC" on this case is "02:00:4C:4F:4F:50"
# The Second i need set "backend=auto"
# The Third is i must set the realnic=2 on my particular case are the device "Microsoft MAC Bridge Virtual NIC",
#
# For Enable Intranet beetween Win7 & Win98SE, you should install Windows 98 SE Service Pack 3 Unofficial
# Because this install a lot of things like Network Security Updated Protocols needed for enable file sharing beetween Win7 & Win98SE
# In the "Panel Control -> Network" setting you must set "Client for Microsoft Networks"
# During the System Logon you can should use the WIN7 Username & Password.

# Note that `realnic=list` will *list* the available network cards when
# DOSBox launches. Pick the desired network interface ID(number) from the
# list, and change this variable. For example `realnic=1`:

Yes, the w98se, mount first the hdd(s) after the cdrom(s)

with the parameters inside autoexec section : 

set ISO=win98se_2222.es.iso
imgmount d %ISO% -t cdrom -ide 2m

now i can change via DOS menu the ISO file, for unknow reasons i don't know why this is not possible via Drive menu, with a Guest OS system, all sub-options for each drive is automatically disabled

DBX-WIN98SE-ISO001

DBX-WIN98SE-ISO002

Now i can set another CDRom Image File : DBX-WIN98SE-ISO003

And well the Autorun of the cdrom works fine on my emulated win98se : DBX-WIN98SE-ISO004

Well this a new and clean win98se insallation, i installed DirectX8.1 Spanish version, and i don't change the DOSBox-X drivers autodetected, i let the S3 and Voodoo driver, and the DirectX 7 test works, but with the DirectX 8 test give me the exact same error i post before.

The thing is hard for me right now is found a full offline installer of :

Because this are esential updates for Windows 98 Second Edition, the another things i need is each spanish package had the unofficial win98se service pack 3, is just a community iso for update win98se, i need install some update to enable the file share on intranet via dosbox-x and win 7 host.
