Please clarify the most relevant context or specific requirements. As the content you provided is relatively simple, it directly translates to: "Looking for an IMG of a virtual DOS that supports NTFS"

Just find a DOS that supports NTFS. It doesn't matter whether it's virtual or not. No matter what DOS IMG it is, if you use it to write to a floppy disk, it's not virtual. If you use an emulator to simulate it, this is virtual. The latest version of grub4dos supports the virtualization of any DOS img, and it even supports the virtualization of win98 IMG, so DOS is easier to support.

Friend: I am an internet cafe manager who often uses GHOST. I downloaded VFloppy 1.5 to make a virtual DOS boot, but this boot cannot access NTFS. I want it to be able to access NTFS format, so I raised this question. How should I solve it? I don't understand anything about grub4dos at all!

GRUB4DOS can support NTFS. Although the support is still limited at present, after all, this basic function is available. If you find that GRUB4DOS fails to open a file in a subdirectory during use, copy it to the root directory, and then it can be opened normally.

It seems that you have never used GRUB4DOS. Let me briefly introduce it to you.

Execute the following command sequence under the GRUB command line to boot the floppy.img file in the root directory of partition (hd0,0):

map --mem (hd0,0)/floppy.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
boot

You don't need to do any complicated settings in advance. You can execute the above commands as long as you enter grub. Of course, you can also put these commands in the menu to avoid the trouble of typing manually each time.

You can find many GRUB entry links from http://grub.linuxeden.com/. You can learn it briefly, and you should be able to use it.

Hehe, just noticed that you're a network administrator in an internet café.

Use grub4dos to virtually create a Win98 in memory for friends using the internet (assuming your memory is 2G, so there's enough space to install Win98 to the memory virtual disk). In this way, internet users will feel that the hard disk speed is extremely fast, and nothing bad will be left on your hard disk after they leave. You just need to restart, and everything returns to normal. This way, you'll never need Ghost again.

Even your main system can be all NTFS. When you manage it yourself, you enter WIN NT/XP. When providing internet access to users, you use grub4dos and a pre-created win98.img file to let users only enter Win98.

There are password setting commands in grub, such as password, lock, etc. You can set different passwords for menu items according to your needs to restrict users' use, which is very convenient.

Don't click, thank you. Looking at your introduction above, grub4dos seems to be a virtual PC software, but I don't need it. Thank you for your help.

Hahaha, I found a treasure! I just want to have a good laugh.

ljljt, it's very easy to make DOS support NTFS. Just add the NTFS4DOS software to your DOS img. But running it will consume quite a bit of base memory

Support the idea of not having to install, but after thinking about it, I feel it's impossible. Nowadays, internet cafes need to provide some games. Moreover, games are often hundreds of MB, and large ones are over 1 GB. No matter how much memory is installed on the computer, it can't be virtualized out.
