1) Copy your Windows 95 CD
This method does not require administrative access like the other method, the only tool we are using here is DOSBox itself.
Copy your Windows 95 CD into an easy to find directory such as shown here. This is only temporary while we complete the file transfer. This method can also be used to move any drivers or other software you want between your host and DOSBox virtual machine.
2) Adjusting DOSBox config
In our DOSBox configuration file we must make a few adjustments to allow this method to work. First remove or comment out the lines for mounting our floppy and hard drive images that should currently be there.
Add the lines shown to the config in their place. The lines should read as follows adjusting for other naming of course! The lines should read:imgmount c windows95.img
mount d c:doswin3) Verification
Boot DOSBox and you should see the successful mounting of your virtual hard drive (it's geometry will be automatically detected) and your host folder.
If you see both have been successfully mounted then proceed.
4) Proof of Concept
Just to demonstrate that we have actually established a connection between our host machine's file system and the virtual hard drive you can swap between each drive and see their contents.
As expected, our 'D' drive which is in this case the 'Doswin' folder has only the Windows 95 CD. Additionally our blank virtual hard drive is, as expected, blank.
5) The XCOPY Command
If you have previous familiarity with the original MS-DOS operating system, you will no doubt be familiar with the powerful XCOPY tool. Fortunately for us, DOSBox Daum comes directly integrated with an XCOPY program.
You may type XCOPY and hit enter to see the syntax and switches available.
6) Preparing to Copy
To ease this process you should begin by navigating into your Windows 95 CD folder on your host computer.
In this case, I have chosen to mount the folder with my Windows 95 CD as my D drive. Navigate into this folder via the following set of commands.D:CD win95cd
Once this is accomplished you may recall 'dir' allows us to see the contents of our folder. At this point you should see the full Windows 95 CD as shown.
7) Begin File Transfer
Unfortunately for us the XCOPY available in DOSBox Daum is not quite as robust as we would like it to be. If you simply try to copy the entire folder in one command it won't be successful.
Instead you must individually copy each folder. Copy the folders using the commands shown here, naturally changing folder name. Use the command:xcopy 'folder' /h /e /i c:win95cd'folder' naturally replacing 'folder' with the folder name.
8) What You Should See
Since we haven't given XCOPY the switch to be 'quiet', we should see a list scroll of each file it copies.
It should look something similiar to this. If it does, continue copying each folder in this manner. Don't forget the files in the root! (setup.exe, autorun.inf etc, mkcwrt.exe, readme.txt)
9) The Complete Copy
Once you finish the copy, you should verify that you have successfully copied everything to your virtual hard drive, our C drive in this case.
To swap to the C: drive simply type 'C:' at the command prompt. You may also type 'dir' to view basic information and contents of your drive. At this point it should only be the folder containing the Windows 95 CD.
10) Changing DOSBox Config
The last thing you will want to do is to return the DOSBox configuration file's autoexec lines to the standard. We will want to mount our hard drive and floppy disk using the other method.
Simply change the lines to read what they did previously.

Our goal is to eventually make DOSBox-X a complete DOS emulation package that is both fully-featured and easy to use. We implement new features with each official release, and also try our best to deliver a consistent cross-platform experience for users. In order to help improve the general DOS emulation and also to aid retro-development, it is our desire to maintain and implement more accurate emulation, but at the same time we are also making efforts to improve emulation quality, speed, and usability for end users. DOSBox-X features a flexible configuration, as we believe a better way to emulate the DOS platform is to give users all the options to configure the DOS virtual machine. We hope to improve the out-of-the-box experience for new users who want to run DOS programs or games, as well as implementing emulation that is accurate enough to make retro-programming possible with confidence the program will run properly on actual hardware.
A few examples of DOSBox-X's unique features are available in the DOSBox-X's Feature Highlights page. Below are some screenshots of DOS programs and games running in DOSBox-X.Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cLPTkd3zcWdrRzJtb6mJyx6ne8UoRZx/view?usp=drivesdk.
Windows 95 offered, at long last, a well designed document-oriented desktop shell that worked much like the 1984 Macintosh Finder.

DOSBox-X maintains a Wiki system (see also guide page list) which explains how to set up DOSBox-X and configure various software to run in DOSBox-X. Also, as DOSBox-X is an open-source project, we strongly encourage users to contribute to DOSBox-X in order to make it work even better as a complete DOS emulation package. Please visit our project website on GitHub for more information.
