Greetings!
I am trying to install Windows 95 as a guest on my VirtualBox version 4.1.10 r76795

The Windows 95 CD is not bootable, so I used a bootable dos image file to boot. I built the machine with the default settings, except I made the hard drive 500mb & the CPU usage to 40% maximum. I made anISO image of the Windows 95 Install CD, attached it to the virtual machine & started the operating system.
I went to Drive 'R' & received an error message:
CRD103: CD ROM Not High Sierra Or ISO-9660 Format Reading drive R
So I got smart & made a new image. This time, the error came when I tried to mount it to the controller:
COuld not get the storage format of the medium VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
Next, I tried attaching a blank ISO image & the hard disk image for Windows 95's machine to Windows XP. In XP, I moved, folder by folder, each one to the blank ISO image. I disconnected them from XP & attached the new ISO to the Windows 95 machine.
When I started the machine, drive R was blank.
To verify the original CD was good, I opened it in FInder & could see all the files. Do any of you have any tips or tricks I may have missed?

I've attached the logs. There were 4, so I changed the names to get them to upload. (Example- Vbox.log1 is now Vbox1.log)
I could only attach 3 of them.
Thanks, I appreciate the education!
Paul
