JJ,
What do you mean? You're asking *where* to find the product key right? Yep. Because I got the feeling, from another post recenty, that it might have been included in the download. As I could not find it in the accompanying files nor on the CD itself I had to ask. Your response indicates that its not included (which I find quite logical, considering the Law), and I should use the one I already have. But you can use the product key for other installation as long as it's for the same Windows version and edition (legality aside). Yep, that was pretty-much I was asking for. :-) Thanks.

It's still in perfect condition. I don't even let any fingerprint left on it. |

Publishing or making-available Windoze product keys is not illegal and contravenes no copyright laws nor any license agreements. When it comes to software such as Windows, copyright does not come into play (unless, perhaps, you re-sell the same license numerous times). With windoze, individuals can contravene EULA's (end-user license agreements) when they answer "yes" to the question "do you agree to these terms" during installation but in reality they have violated one or more of those tersm, presumably that they have obtained a product key (which is a substitute for a license-to-use) in a way that Micro$oft would not approve of.

Thanks. http://www.mdgx.com/files/918547.php Are there files that are I think 3 DOS disks (3.5") floppies in the ..img format. I am not quite sure how to look for that. I don't know what the .img format is qemu maybe? And is loaded like the disk were via virtualbox. Bill Yes The .IMG Run on VirtualBox as Arive or B:\setup disks (3.5") Bill Read VirtualBox Help Search Help for .img 5.3. The Virtual Media Manager VirtualBox keeps track of all the hard disk, CD/DVD-ROM and floppy disk images which are in use by virtual machines. These are often referred to as "known media" and come from two sources: all media currently attached to virtual machines; "registered" media for compatibility with VirtualBox versions older than version 4.0. For details about how media registration has changed with version 4.0, please refer to Section 10.1, “ Where VirtualBox stores its files”. The known media can be viewed and changed in the Virtual Media Manager, which you can access from the "File" menu in the VirtualBox main window: The known media are conveniently grouped in t hree tabs for the three possible formats. These formats a Hard disk images, either in VirtualBox's own Virtual Disk Image (VDI) format or in the third-party formats listed in the previous chapter; CD/DVD images in standard ISO format; floppy images in standard RAW format. As you can see in the screenshot above, for each image, the Virtual Media Manager shows you the full path of the image file and other information, such as the virtual machine the image is currently attached to, if any. The Virtual Media Manager allows you to remove an image from the registry (and optionally delete the image file when doing so); "release" an image, that is, detach it from a virtual machine if it is currently attached to one as a virtual hard disk. Starting with version 4.0, to create new disk images, please use the "Storage" page in a virtual machine's settings dialog because disk images are now by default stored in each machine's own folder. Hard disk image files can be copied onto other host systems and imported into virtual machines there, although certain guest systems (notably Windows 2000 and XP) will require that the new virtual machine be set up in a similar way to the old one. Note Do not simply make copies of virtual disk images. If you import such a second copy into a virtual machine, VirtualBox will complain with an error, since VirtualBox assigns a unique identifier (UUID) to each disk image to make sure it is only used once. See Section 5.6, “Cloning disk images” for instructions on this matter. Also, if you want to copy a virtual machine to another system, VirtualBox has an import/export facility that might be better suited for your needs; see Section 1.14, “Importing and exporting virtual machines”. -- -- Modernism The Reason Why We Vote!

PSS: PS: win98se.iso or "floppy images MSDOS 6.22 installer, as an ISO file,
"BillyRay0808 USA VP 2016" wrote in message ... "Bill Cunningham" http://virtualisedreality.com/2009/0...-6-22-in-a-vm/ I just install a brand new VM with MSDOS 6.22. Here is what I did: 1. Download MSDOS 6.22 installer, as an ISO file, from he http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html This is the trick, because trying to use floppy images was a nigthmare. 2. Create a new VM and configure it for MSDOS. In my case, I created a new VHD with 250 Mb and assigned 4 MB of RAM. 3. Configure the boot sequence to: CD, HD, Floppy 4. Connect the CD to the MSDOS 6.22 ISO image 5. Startup the VM. If Parallels ask you to connect an image file to the CD, do it again in that dialog 6. After the VM starts, you will end with an A: drive, wich is actually the CD with the MSDOS 6.22 ISO image 7. Execute FDISK and create a primary DOS partition with all the size of the disk, or do whatever partition scheme you want. 8. Restart the VM. At A: prompt execute FORMAT C: /S 9. Stop VM and change boot order to HD – CD – Floopy 10. Restart VM 11. Execute all these commands: C: MD MSDOS COPY A:\*.* .\MSDOS /v COPY A:\CONFIG.SYS COPY A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT COPY A:\HIMEM.SYS COPY A:\CD1.SYS 12. Restart your VM and you are ready to go!! |

A good place to look for info on Windows keys is he
http://opensourcerules.info/cdkey.html Look down the page for keys for stuff before XP. I recommend you save a local copy of the page and tools you want because it gets taken down a bit. |
