Hi,
I am about to evaluate VmWare workstation 8 but I immediately come accross a problem where I simply can't find an answer or clue as how can I possibily create a VM as described below. As I am trying to furnish as much as possible for what I intend to create, so please bear with me for the description below might be a bit lengthy:
1. I am migrating from WinXp 32bits on a Intel Core2Quote 9400 machine to Win7 64bits on a Intel Core i5 2500K PC.
2. Among all the possible VM that I might want to create with VMWare 8, one of the very crucial virtual machine that I am interested in is a WinXP DOS (i.e. it is MSDOS ver 5.5) like the one I get when I open up a fullscreen WinXP DosBox. i.e.
a) I want to run my new PC with Win7 64 bits.
b) Within the Win7 as stated in a) above, I want VMWare WS 8 to run a virtual machine which is essentially a MSDOS 5.5 environment.
3. So, it is possible for me to create a virtual machine such as that in 2. b) above? How am I going to create that? i.e. For 2.b) above, I don't want WinXP at all, I just need its fullscreen DOSBOX.
Alternatively,
Is it possible to run a VM which is MSDOS 6.22, is there any readily made MSDOS 6.22 VM that I can import into my VMWare 8? I don't think I am able to find my old MSDOS 6.22 diskette, even if I can, I don't have a floopy disk with my new PC...
