| | Setup? How do you create a virtual machine with a setup disk? (Not bootable) Such as Windows 95 or WindowsME cd's. I can't get a non bootable cd to install the OS. -- <<//--------------------\\>> Van Chocstraw Quote: Quote: >>\\--------------------//<< |

Older versions of Windows CDs were not bootable - that is why they came with a boot floppy. If you don't have a boot floppy, you'll need to make one or download one: http://vpc.essjae.com/ -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

I did it twice but nothing. All you do is keep getting the same original virtual boot strap and you can't start Windows from C:\windows\setup.exe. It fails. -- <<//--------------------\\>> Van Chocstraw Quote: Quote: >>\\--------------------//<< |

It fails. software (OS and apps) is concerned - there is no difference... You need the boot floppy in order to begin the installation process of Windows 98. Why? Because the Windows 98 CD isn't bootable But, on the first reboot *AFTER* installation, you have to remove the boot floppy otherwise the virtual machine will keep on booting from it. Just like a physical machine... This isn't a Virtual PC question per se... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |
