how can i get back to win3.1

[nutz4drumz]

i wanna go back way back to when things were simple and duke nukem was a hot game. i have a pretty robust system p3 1gig with a 20gig hd and 512mgs of memory nice herc xp game theater sound card and nvidea m64 32mg vid card all running win me at the moment. what i want to know is this. is it possible to somehow format my drive in fat 16, set up win 3.1 with my favorite dos games then ghost it and be able to go back to win me when im through playing. ive got all the software i just cant get my little pea brain to think all the way through it. lol

nice idea ...........but i think fat 16 will only access 2.0g.

i,ve got a laptop here that has a Knickered controller for the h/d ...........and after abut a month af **** in around .........it now loads win 3.11 from cd rom..........cant save anything apart from floppy ,i use this tosh for doing nokia logo,s and ringtones ,,,,,sit in pub with a book (3000 logos,s),,,,,,,,,dont buy a beer all nite ,,,,and have some penny,s the morning after!!!!

the only prob was vertual memory.


load your machine with 3.11 ,,,set it up with vid/sound etc drivers , then transfer the drive burn it to a cd,,,REF: vertual memory.

3.11 was about the last o/s that did not write back to the auto/config/command ....after 3.11 u cant do it...

alternetly i would sugest picking up a small h/d ......in the past (1995/6.....when a h/d cost more tha a car) i have had win 3.11 running on a 10meg h/d (with absolutly no help files)

get a 5** meg drive from a old 486 (they are free if u ask nice) and set your bios to boot from drive *

that is minimal ,,,,,,wont cost much

u will have problems with drivers (ie video/sound) not being written for 3.11. ,,,,,dont forget ...mscdex /d:mscd0001 ,,,,etc and the config .sys

PS: the flying "windows" screen saver ....will knock u from the chair ....when it fires in¬!!!!!!

ps: just to wind u up,,,,,,,


386/16 with 640k memory ....no monitor no s/card and a 10 MEG hard drive ???..........boot from floppy with a scsi card , yamaha 8824 writer (scsi), plextor 40 reader (scsi) , win on cd (dos version)....nice simple batch file ....and sits there copying cd,s all day !!!!

when the discs eject , i put new disks in and press the reset button.

NOTE: can only copy 1 track ,,,,ie: data , not music
try it yourself (if u got scsi cd-roms) freeby is available ,,,,,x2
