With some fiddling I booted into the Windows install CD and installed Windows XP on a hard drive. It took fiddling because the BIOS is so old that it doesn't conform to the ATA-3 specifications.
I haven't been able to boot using a hard drive from ADLO yet because it doesn't recognize my hard drives (same age related problems of the Bochs BIOS.)
I've looked at porting the FILO drivers into the Bochs BIOS, but it doesn't appear trivial.
Any questions, suggestions, or comments besides "Why would you want to do this?"
Hmm. First off, this is pretty cool. Which version of Windows? :-)
Does your hard disk controller have an option rom? P-ATA? S-ATA? SCSI?
It might make sense to have the controller's option rom executed by ADLO so it can install an int13 hook.
Have you been able to use FILO?
