It would work just like a normal DOS box. VirtualBox emulates a X86 =
machine,
but it needs to be configured properly.  I can verify VirtualBox 3.2.8
r64453 works with FreeDOS and CDs. I've tried here with FreeDOS and
VirtualBox and can confirm some CDs don't work. This was due to  a =
format
issue. Try using basic CD format ISO 9660 or as close to that as =
possible.

Then if I create the VHD correctly I can access it just by typing C: ?
=A0
and I should copy my data from a CD to the VHD? but will VBox read my =
data
if I copy it to the CD ? cos when I copied it to the same boot CD it
couldn't read that folder ..... just didn't appear in the DIR list ....
maybe it works with another CD ...?
thank you Matt

Hello,
=A0
No it won't boot off your normal HD. If you create a new virtual machine
inside VirtualBox, and follow the wizard, this would be the easiest way =
to
create one - just don't skip the hard drive step. It's fairly simple, =
but
=A0as I've stated before, I cannot explain it any better than the =
manual.
=A0
Good Luck.

Hi Matt
=A0
I booted FreeDOS on VirtualBOX from a CD .... then, as I couldn't access =
the
Virtual Hard Drive with typing C: [Enter], I copied the folder that =
contains
my game to the boot CD ; it booted but at entering DIR my data folder =
didn=B4t
appear (at My PC Windows Explorer it did)
=A0
So I supose I'll have to access the VHD .... cos perhaps the boot disk =
can't
store other data than the system .... if it was fisically there and =
wasn=A1t
even visible ....=20
=A0
It has to be something in the configuration .... you know about this, =
Matt?
thank you
=A0
Pablo=A0=A0

Hello Pablo,

Did you get any of your issues worked out? I seem to be missing one or =
two
from this thread.

Now I've read it entirely. Rod, it isn't for you to get so anoyed with
DJGPP, it will never be dead ..... neither the DOS system .... I hope =
some
day you (all members) can run my game and see what I could do with DJGPP =
in
a relatively easy way .... can you imagine the mess it would be to write =
a
game with other languages??? or to edit graphics??? with DJGPP I made my =
own
graphics editor ...=20
//// I know that perhaps Mr DJ Delorie's way to say things isn't the =
best,
but it's his way, ... I don=B4t disbelieve of his good intention neither
anyone else
=A0
I have just got 2 ideas: 1st I could give my code files to the list so =
the
ones who want could learn to write games (like Mario) though=A0my code =
is
quite untidy ....
2nd perhaps you, Rugxulo, could upload somewhere my Mario game, so =
everyone
can see it, for though it is running from Windows XP (without music) but =
I
think it would be good that djgpp people knows it .... modestly I think =
it's
good,=A0mainly it took me 2 or 3 years working a few hours some days =
.... then
probably all members will be happier to help me with VBox
=A0
I wish those who are altered succed in calming down, and return to =
normal
way
thank you=A0
Pablo
