OS not found. Install an OS on this hard drive

Having trouble getting an OS installed in VPC 6.1. I have an old
Windows 95 disc that I'm trying to install from, but I can't get it to
boot. Here's what I've done:

1. Created new Windows 95 PC
2. Inserted Windows 95 install disc
3. Started up virtual PC.

I've also tried restarting the PC with the install disc already in the
computer. I just keep getting the above message. Can't press any keys,
just keep getting the same message.

Looking around, I see people recommending that I boot off the install
disc. I don't really know how to do that aside from restarting the
Virtual PC with the install disc already in the drive. The installation
should just happend automatically, right? Help!

Windows 95 is not bootable, you need to have a Win95 or Win98 boot
disk to boot the VM to a prompt and load the cd-rom drivers to start
the installation.

All Win95 cd-roms came with a bootable floppy disk to start the
installation.

1. You will need to get a boot disk image, (Win98 ones are available
atmy site)
2. Boot from the image.
3. create a c:\win95 directory
4. copy the win95 directory from the cd-rom to the C:\win95 dir
5. run the setup from inside the c:\win95
