You can also create a raw disk image using dd. The command is
dd if=/dev/zero of=rawdisk.(img or raw)
if you use .img you can double click on the image and mount it in your host OS.

I think it needs the PCI drivers ….? Windows 95 (the first versions) straddles the line between the traditional ISA pc and the new PCI way of doing things.

personally I like to make CD ISO images and mount those.. if you want wimimage RAW is the way to go…

qemu-img create -f RAW bobo.disk 2G

etc etc…

Of course you’ll want to partition & format bobo.disk in your guest OS to make sure all is well.

I’ve never used ‘qemu manager’ … maybe try it from the command line? Windows95 can run win32 stuff, sure but it can be *VERY* limited compared to windows 2000 ….

Try it CLI with qemu 0.14.0
