Installing Windows 98
All Windows 95 and some of Windows 98 installation packages include a bootable floppy (a startup
floppy disk). The floppy is used to perform disk partitioning and formatting by means of MS-DOS.
Since modern Macs have no floppy drives, you will need an external USB floppy drive or an image
of a bootable floppy disk. Such an image can be created using third-party tools.
If you have a bootable CD with Windows 98 installation, you can use it as is or create an ISO image
of it.
Below we describe how to install Windows 98, the case when you have a startup floppy image and
a CD with the installation files. The installation of Windows 95 is similar to that.
Preparing a Virtual Machine for Windows 95/98 Installation
1 Create a Windows 98 virtual machine using New Virtual Machine Assistant. Select the
Customize settings before installation option in the Name and Location window.
2 In the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog, click Hardware > Boot Order, and configure the
floppy disk to be the first boot device.
3 Below the Boot Order item, select Floppy Disk to open the virtual floppy disk drive settings. In
the Floppy Disk pane, do the following:
1. Make sure the Connected option is selected.
2. Specify the floppy disc image in the Source menu.
