Failing to install Windows 98
I'm trying to install Windows 98 in my first attempt at Parallels. I get a DOS start up asking 'Boot from HDD' or 'Boot from CD-ROM'. Choosing the second one proceeds, but when it gets to the start up screen to begin the installation, the screen is completely garbled (attachment).

Any ideas?

(Why 98? Because I now find I only have upgrade versions of XP Home & Pro so I need a base system and I can only find the 98 disc).
