Windows 98SE, fdisk/format?

Dear reader,

I know this has been covered before but I am almost completely new to... cordially invited MS-DOS operating systems running - I was still a young child in those older that me were folding their minds around it.

I'm running OS X 10.8 and have Vmware Fusion 4.1.3.  The problem is that I try to install Windows 98SE using this software.   I have concerned ISO installation and also the IMG for the startup disk.

Both and so good, but then we come to the installation itself during the virtual machine startup.  I type r: [Enter] [Enter] installation and something or another tells me that I "can't create a temporary directory' and then there's something about formats.  He also was drawn to my attention that perhaps I am missing a BACK at first... How could I know that?

I googled this and the words 'fdisk' and 'format' crop everywhere (as well as in these forums).  Appreciating the fact that those who were at least in their adolescence when 98SE was released probably know exactly what they need to do.  I don't have... more googling, it seems are being challenged to know what to do in the first place - first format or fdisk first?


I found this quote promising but, for me, it's entirely in another language:

I have started the virtual machine, do fdisk to one > prompt, copied in C format: on the diskette (really an iso), rebootted the machine virtual format C:, and then typed E:\win98\setup to any > prompt and I was turned off...

Be prepared to take me by the hand and show me what to do step by step and I invite you to leave as little as possible for interpretation.  I hope you can be patient with me.

Kind regards.

I just tested a Windows 98SE installation and he didn't need a floppy disk at all. The installation immediately released the CD. Have you already tried that?

  • Advanced Power Management under Windows 98SE for Satellite A75-S206?

    On my Satellite A75-S206, I have a partition on my hard drive under Windows 98SE.

    When I run Windows 98 on this model, the drive keeps spinning (does not turn down), the cooling fan is still running at high speed, I can't dim the monitor, or use any other feature of the advanced power management is available when running my XP partition. The utility of generic power in my Windows 98SE (Intel speed step) management does not address these problems, even if you use custom settings. The management utilities peak power supplied with recovery for this model CD only work on XP or Windows 2000, and these advanced power management utilities will not install on Windows 98.

    Is there a driver download, or is there software available for Windows 98SE downloads emulate advanced power management features that work on XP? Is there another workaround solution?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this unit was designed for the American market and came only with a XP Home and XP Pro OS.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba we and don t find all the drivers for Win98.
    Unfortunately, if you use the Win98, do without the features of Toshiba.
    Sorry, there is nothing to do.

    How to make a disk image of work for my windows 98se boot (original is long dead).  I have a copy of Windows 98SE bought new off the years of the plateau.  I now have a 64-bit system, so I can't run it natively, but I discovered that I can't even run at all, because I don't have a working bootable floppy!  I thought that the CD is bootable, when I used it a long time ago, but now it does not start if I have used the disk? Anyway, can I get a driver Microsoft w/CD install/bootable disk, or do I have another decent resource?

  • Can - I always rebuild windows 98se?

    My old Dell (98SE upgraded to XP) has been infected (in spite of NIS 2010) with fake AV malware that selectively prevents me to restore my system using my Acronis rescue diskettes.
