Install Windows 98 Se In Parallels Desktop 3.0 For Mac
Hello,
I have been having trouble with this for a while, found this site, and figured this is the perfect place to ask my question. I have a Mac that I wanted to put Windows 98 on as a virtual machine. So, I downloaded Parallels Desktop, and got started. I have an old bootable CD from an e machines I used to have that ran Windows 98. I put the cd in, parallels starts to build the virtual machine, and then I get this..
Microsoft Windows 98 Start Up Menu
1. Restore Windows 98 - Will format HDD
2. Restore Windows 98 - Will not format HDD
3. Boot to DOS Prompt from CD Rom
When I select 1 or 2 it gives me an error and says my computer is not responding then ejects the disk. I can only get the command prompt (selection 3) from the CD (A:). If memory serves, I can enter a command in the prompt to install 98. I was thinking it was setup.exe, but it just tells me that is bad or invalid. What am I doing wrong here? How can I get windows 98 as a virtual machine here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Jay
