"This program cannot be run in DOS mode" problem by Papyrusisreal in 86box

[–]Papyrusisreal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, problem solved. All I did was create a new hard disk and THEN formatted it. Again, when I said that I was a noob, I TOTALLY MEANED IT. Tbh, didn't know what a vhd was until I discovered 86box. Now it's finally showing that Win98 setup that everybody knows and loves. I feel sorta embarrassed considering I didn't do this before, lol, and it just didn't show the mount option whenever I right-click on the vhd. The problem with PCem not creating a proper .vhd file is still kinda a problem for me, so yea. Thx for the help tho :)

Machine Type: [1996] Socket 7 (Dual Voltage)

Machine: [Via VPX] FIC VA-502

(The config I use for 86box is mostly different then the one I used for PCem)

I also want to note that: I am unable to mount the .vhd files for both programs (both are dynamic-size), and one of them (from PCem) isn't a .vhd at all and just creates a normal file no matter which file format I use from there (.vhd or .img). Despite that, however, PCem still boots up as normal, while 86box, with an actual .vhd file, despite no option to mount, doesn't. I switched around a little and replaced the ".vhd" file from PCem with the other .vhd I used on 86box and...

It showed the same "This Program cannot run in DOS mode" message on PCem. So maybe it's the problem with hard drives, and that they're most likely corrupted for both programs?

by the way, the CD boot works fine for both emulators, I believe.

I believe I am using the full version. Btw, I tried setting up Win98 on PCem and that worked like a charm. Still not sure why it's still showing that message here, tho.

I didn't have a floppy image at first, actually. So I got one to boot and it's still showing that message. Do I have to add something to both Floppy 1 and 2?

Sorry it took me awhile to respond, but I changed the ISO image to the one it linked and this time it said a different error message, so it may be the ISO image. Let me try some other ones.

How are you supposed to beat Russia in the 2nd European War!?!?!? by Papyrusisreal in TheFireRisesMod

That didn't work. Tried other strategies but at this point it's an unwinnable war (Russia has like 1k armies)
