I can certainly understand that VMware might want to diddle with its own copy of W'98 that's not installed in standard fashion. From Bill's comment it seems I've missed a chunk of documentation. > You need to install W98 inside VMWare.

The only way I could stick W98 into a "boot device" is if that boot device is a CDROM. Since VMware is booted off the hard drive where it's installed itself and configured itself, you have lost me. > I know it works, because I've done it. I'm sure it does. This is definitely an "I'm stupid, not you" situation :-) Cheers --- Larry
