Who here is running vmware? I'm trying to run win98 as a guest OS from within win2k. It goes through the virtual bios fine, but on the next screen it says "Operating System not found", anyone have any idea how to solve this? Thanks.
Sorry if I didnt explain myself - I already have win98 installed. When I boot my computer up normally, I get a bootloader that lets me choose between win2k and win98. I dont even see that bootloader in the virtual system.
Did you run the configuration wizard and create the virtual disk to format, and then install Win98 onto that? You can't install it onto your hard drive like normal, you have to use the ~2GB virtual disk.
Dunno if this helps, but you might have forgotten to define disk access.(eg it might not be allowed to access the partition containing 98). Not exactly sure since I use vmware to run 98 under linux. I have a standard install by the way(not a virtual install through vmware).
What's it good for? Not a whole lot. It's very, very slow. It's neat to use, though, especially if you don't want to dual boot and keep restarting all the time. You can't do much of anything that stresses the system because it's basically an emulator.
I'm working on the problem with him via private messages. Shouldn't be long now and he'll have it running.
