Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

DOS and Windows 3.1x

Support

This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:

• VMware Workstation 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.5, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2

• VMware GSX Server 3.0, 3.1

• VMware VirtualCenter 1.1

General Installation Notes

Be sure to read General Guidelines for All VMware Products on page 13 as well as this

guide to installing your specific guest operating system.

Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and

configured a new virtual machine.

DOS Installation Notes

You can install MS-DOS 6.22 inside a virtual machine using the Microsoft full-version

MS-DOS installation disks. If you have the upgrade disks, you must install an earlier

version of DOS before you upgrade. To start installing MS-DOS 6.22, put the first disk in

the floppy drive used by your virtual machine, power on the virtual machine and

follow the instructions on the screen.

After you install DOS, VMware recommends that you install a CPU idle program within

the virtual machine. Most versions of DOS do not idle the CPU when they are idle.

Therefore, when you are running DOS in a virtual machine, the virtual machine takes

up CPU time on the host even when DOS is idle. VMware products rely on the guest

operating system to use the Halt instruction or advanced power management to

deschedule the virtual machine when it is idle.

We have tested a program called DOSIDLE.EXE and have found it works

successfully with VMware Workstation and GSX Server. It can be downloaded from

www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip.

Follow the instructions provided with the DOSIDLE.EXE program. But be aware of

the -cpu option, which causes the idle program to access the CPU at a low level in

order to optimize performance. There is a good chance that this will not work with

some CPUs under VMware products. VMware suggests that you not use it.

Windows 3.1x Installation Notes

You can install Windows 3.1x using the standard installation disks. VMware

Workstation and GSX Server virtual machines support the networking features found
