virtualbox no bootable medium found windows 98

My memory setting is 256 MB of RAM and the virtual hard disk is 8 GB (IDE), I have tried installing this with a CD-ROM bootable ISO as well as a CD-ROM ISO with a boot floppy image. I'd have thought the DVD should've been easy 'cos back in the day, a CD is how memtest86 would've been booted! (And i've always assumed that given a DVD/CD drive, a DVD is backward compatible with a CD).Since Sunday I've been attempting to install Windows 98 SE for the first time in Workstation 14 Pro and I keep running into the same strange problem that I haven't heard of anyone else having and have found no information neither in the VMware community nor elsewhere online about it whatsoever (I'm currently on my eleventh attempt I believe). I've taken the easy root and made the USB and booted off that. Once it boots i've some hope that it'd run in the physical computer! I guess the physical computer i'm testing maybe doesn't have 'CDROM emulation at the BIOS'. So there's something up that ISO.Īnd it becomes a question that I can't boot up with it, and it's not a problem with the computer. But if people here can't get it booting in virtualbox or vmware then it's probably because it's not bootable. virtualbox or vmware, then there's hope that I could get it booting in a physical computer. In order to rule out that it's not an issue with that physical computer and in order for the thing to be reproducable, i thought of trying it in a Virtual Machine 'cos if anybody here could get it booting in e.g. The files on the DVD don't look bootable. But it's not working 'cos it's not booting. Ultimately, I want to boot memtest86 and run memtest86 from a DVD in a physical computer. I am just trying to get the thing to boot. Running Memtest in a VM seems like a bad idea.Īs I said, i'm not trying to get Memtest running on a VM.
