Anyways, I might try 95 after i'm done with 98. At first I wanted to try win95, but because of this prob I thought I'll try 98. Then I just load setup from drive "E:" (it's D but becomes E coz of the RAM drive) just like you did and that's it. It starts on "A:/_" (the underscore is the cursor as you might guess), then I just type, "format c:" and voila! It's done.
Then it loads some commands to "A:/" which is not my floppy. The win98 disk loads some diagnostic tools onto a RAM drive, which pushes the cdrom drive designation, back a letter. So as usual, I selected the first one, it loaded as it should.
All I had to do was, run fdisk then reboot, on the windows 98 SE bootable disk you get a menu asking whether to boot with CDROM support (#1) or not (#2). In fact, I've just skipped a very easy and simple step. At first I didn't quite get the format command, then just used my head. Hope this helps - I've only just seen your post and got your message. I can't access the physical printer as it is USB and Windows95A did not know about USB, and at times the virtual floppy and virtual CD can be temperamental. Most of it seems to install OK but not everything. Occasionally I have found I needed to copy a dll from there when putting other software on the VM. I have a CD image of the c:\windows part of my physical Windows95 machine. One thing about a Virtual Machine is that if one attempt to set it is abortive you can have another go from the beginning without worrying about what state the previous attempt left it in! Mine fired up at the 6th attempt (after I started counting) as I gradually worked my way to the above. Any help? Thanks very much for any replies.Ĭode: Setup (not Setup.exe even though that is the full file name) at the DOS prompt, which for some reason is R:\ rather than D:\ - maybe I missed a trick at an early stage of setting up the VM. Then when I try to run setup it returns, " Windows setup requires 7340032 bytes" and freezes there. How could I setup C: drive for virtualbox to run windows? I tried "FDISK" on the windows 98 cd itself as it suggests. It loads from here on and then reports that drive C: is not a fat system (I've used it before ). Virtualbox loads with my bootable Windows 98 CD and I select, " Start computer with CD-ROM Support". This is how I loaded it up until I encountered a problem.
I setup Virtualbox and my Virtual system for windows 98 and tried to insall it to a virtual drive in the usual way (this is the first time I'm trying something like this). Are there any issues for me to consider with my Ubuntu installation and Win98 on virtualbox? As it is a virtual system I'll be installing to, I think not.am I right in this aspect? I tried digging around for info, but was unable to find the information required and much of the links I found were to do with XP. Now, I thought of installing windows 98 on virtualbox as an experiment. I've installed virtualbox on my PC running on Jaunty and was able to test it with a couple of LiveCD's I have of other linux distro's.
