Installing Win98 as OS guest - Need assistance

Post by Udinagar »

Hi all,
I installed VirtualBox on my PC (OS - WinXP) in order to to install win98 on it.
I encountered few problems and after reading some articles\forums I still did not succeed to install it.
Currently the situation is that I installled boot CD (Win98 SE) and created partition.
Now I'm trying to install win98 from a shared folder or CF but I do not know how to access the CD.
Does someone succeed installing win98 ? can you send me an "export" or a snapshot that I can "import" or copy it to my PC ?
Does someone have a detailed guide (step by step) how to install win98 as OS guest ?

Thanks in advance,
Udi

This would be totally illegal and against the EULA for the product from Microsoft.
Asking these kind of questions can lead to problems, so no more, OK?

Your best bet is to read this http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9918
