Installing Windows 98 on Virtual PC.

Posted on June 20, 2007 by Nishant Pant

I was trying to install Win 98 on a VPC, but it kept complaining that the file system was not FAT or FAT32. I tried doing FDISK, FORMAT. Nothing works. Finally after some googling, came across this website. They have virtual machine VM along with a pre-formatted FAT32 hard drive ready to install Win 98. Just add the VM to your VPC console, pop in the Win 98 CD and boot the VM.

Here is the web site : http://vpc.essjae.com/ and here is  a link to the pre-formatted VHD and VM http://vpc.essjae.com/Win98SE.zip

    I just tested the link. It is working fine. Maybe the site was down for maintenance at that time when you clicked or something.
