Hi,
Warcraft II is too fast on my old XP computer.
So, I have installed warcraft 2 on my virtual Win98. Installation works perfectly with my original CD. But when I launch the game, it asks me the CD ont more time. The CD is detected with Virtualbox in J:\ but in Virtual Win98 it is in D:\ so my problem is that the game does not see the CD in the good Disk letter. So I'll to modify Win98 CD letter : the same as virtualbox (host).
So I put my CD in host (J:)
I start virtual Win98 on which warcraft2 is installed
I put my Warcraft II CD and detect it with virtual box (J:)
Virtual Win98 says : do you want to install me ? No.
Start menu virtual Win98, Configuration Pannel, System, Material -> CDROM !
Oh yes : Vbox CDROM : properties, params tabs, LETTER of begin !
I set J: instead of D:, OK, Close.
Restart ? Yes.
J: -> D: has become J: -> J:, ok
Reinsert Warcraft 2 in Virtual J: ok
Start warcraft 2, sart single game player...
OHHH NOOO it does not find the disk !
What could happen ? please help me !!!

Your Guest drive letter does not have to be the same as your Host drive. The reason it can't find the drive now, is because you installed the game from D:, so it refers to D:.
