I've tried using winimage to create an image of an existing physical win 98 drive, which it did just fine, moved the vhd file to my xp desktop, fired up VPC and tried to use the winimage created vhd file for a newly created virtual 98 instance, but it only said that the vhd file was unusable. any suggestions?
