Installing Windows 98 SE

[gemillam]

I have a Windows 98 SE Full install disk that I got off of eBay, just with the idea that I was going to use it on my new Intel iMac once some genius figured out how to make Vanderpool work on it . Well, I got Workstation configured and it's seeing my CD drive, but it isn't recognizing it as a bootable CD. Isn't all Windows SE Full Installation disks bootable? Is there something I need to do that I am unaware of?

Can anybody tell me baby steps how to install the crap windows 98, I need it for my stupid work and I can get to work??? I have a Legal copy of windows 98 and 95. I am a Mac user for a long long long time and I don't understand fdisk floppy dos. All I wanted is to install by press buttons, Like a Mac. Sorry if I being asking to much

I have been unable to install win98 in any method listed in this thread I have tried them all,

I am a paid, user and I do not understand, why I cannot get this to work, we all know win 98 is an old old, os, but I need to recover, come old QIC files, and win 98 is my only option, Now, I just updated to version 5 with the understanding that it would work, but so far it has not worked.

It seems a little crazy that I spend this kind of money and the software does not work, for something as simple as this.

Agreed.

Apparently they dropped Parallels Tools support for Win98 which means -- no more drivers for network, video, etc. Makes it kind of useless.

VirtualBox also has no drivers.
