Ctrl+Alt keys to release the keyboard input and then click the Shut Down button to stop the
virtual machine. Then click the Start button.

Return(Enter).
You may be prompted to choose how exactly to format your disk. Windows 95/98 supports

But do not use larger disks if you are going to run legacy applications.
The program starts formatting the disk C:.
Format other disks too (if you created more than one primary partition or if you created a
custom virtual machine with more than one disk). Use E:, F: drive letters.

(Enter) to skip this step.

2 Insert the Windows 98 installation CD, or connect an ISO image of the installation disc
choosing CD/DVD > Connect Image from the Devices menu.
3 If you created only one primary partition (disk C:), by default, your CD/DVD drive will
have the drive letter D:. Type the command:
D:\setup.exe

virtual hard disk.
