Installing Windows98 within windowsXP with MS virtual PC 2007

hi guys!i remember those happy times i began my computing with that pretty old,reliable,"not-so-pretty" but classic windows 98.So just to get that nostalgic feeling back i decided to try it once again but this time using microsoft virtual PC 2007 as a virtual OS within my current WindowsXP

here's a step by step guide
1.download microsoft virtual pc 2007 from here
2.download the windows 98 virtual pc configuration package i created from here
3.after downloading the two you need to have a bootable windows 98 CD or even a non-bootable cd would do as i have added the boot image to the package in step 2. it's important that if u have a bootable CD then u shud delete the file Win98EBD.vfd from the package.
4.make an ISO image of the windows 98 CD
5.install ms virtual pc and do the following
click on new
click next
in the next screen
select add existing virtual machine
click next
in the name and location screen just locate the files extracted frm my package in step 2 keeping in mind that u have deleted/unchanged the Win98EBD.vfd file depending on the type of 98 cd u have bootable/non bootable

click next
a settings screen appears where u can modify the settings.if u want u can increase the RAM as i have set it to 64 MB only
now u'll see the newly created package on main screen.in this screeenshot the second one u see is the one i'm using and the first one is the one i have created for this topic

now to start the installation processs(for bootable CD)
1.make an ISO image of windows 98 cd
2.select your virtual pc and click start
3.from CD menu of the ms virtual pc select captureISO image and locate the win 98 ISO image
4.run the 98 setup in the normal way by starting with cd-rom support and starting setup.exe from d:(cd rom drive letter)
5.be sure to select release iso image from cd menu wnvr cmputer requires a restart or else it will continue booting from the ISO image!

insatllation with non-bootable cd
1.for this process you must already have allowed the Win98EBD.vfd to remain.
2.just click start and in the cd menu select use physical drive to allow you to use the cd-rom drive
3.after the installation has started delete the file and continue using just the cd rom drive


njoy!
