I have a disk with win 98 and I would like to know how to install it on top of a tower with vista home premium on it.

My lap top has vista home and I tried to install Win 98 on a drive. I get messages saying that it can not be installed.  The installer on the disc advises to install using MS-DOS. However, the file of course dosen't address install on a computer with vista home. I am not able in the BACK. I'd like some simple instructions to install it if it is possible.

You need to do using a Virtual Machine (Finally, there are other ways, but this is the simplest and the best option). http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdvancedUsers/VirtualPC/tabid/394/Default.aspx.

Once the virtual machine is configured, see the follwng on how to install Windows 98 on it:http://www.vistax64.com/virtual-pc/174999-re-installing-windows-98-a.html.

I hope this helps.  Keep me in the loop.

Good luck!
