This is a video tutorial on how to install Windows 98 First Edition in Virtualbox! Happy New Year Everyone! Virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downl.
Hello all,I am currently in the process of trying to convert an old PC that ran Windows 98 to a VM, this PC is still needed by a friend who has some old applications that are not supported on XP, as far as I know. The PC will not boot, so I removed the hard drive, and made a VDI copy of the drive to attach to a Win98 VM.I'm trying to avoid having to do a clean install of Windows 98 in a VM, and then just migrating the data. I'm not sure if this person even still has the original install media for the programs they need.The VM fails to boot completely, however I can boot into safe mode.The error message I receive upon a regular startup is:While initializing device IOS0:Windows protection error.
You need to restart your computer.I've been looking for the last few days, and haven't really found a solution to the problem. I have seen where disabling APIC helps, but that did not work for me.Any help would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if I need to provide further information. I could never get Windows 98 to work well in Virtualbox - it was limited to 16 colors and 640 x 480.That said, you may have to with Windows memorizing the disk controller and not working when put in a virtual machine. The trick for XP and Win7 is to use 'Merge IDE' to adjust loosen the checks on the disk controller.You may also want to experiment with whether you use an IDE or SCSI controller in your VM.That's my guess.Note: you'll need the computer to run to install mergeide. Though, it might be possible to 'mount the registry hive' by connecting the drive to a functioning windows machine - then apply the registry changes that way. But I don't know how to do that.
