It starts, but kept hanging when the ""1. Start with CDROM support"" option was selected. My next attempt was to boot a DOS 6.22 startup floppy, format the c: drive, and make a autoexec.bat and config.sys with a Samsung sscdrom.sys driver for the CD. This actually worked. Drive D: was the CDROM, and the Windows98 install CD file ""D:\SETUP.EXE"" could be run. The install process appeared to be normal, even doing a ""restart computer"" until the ""Setting up Control Panel"" section, when it claimed error on finding A: I tried again, and this time, it nearly went all the way,setting Region, Date and Timezone. Finally entered ""Updating System Settings"" where it seemed to take a very long time doing very little, until finally it quit with a fatal exception. During re-starts, I had to have the boot floppy ejected to allow it to boot from its drive C: The media seems to install OK on a native PC. Unless there are known issues that affect W98 installs I should be aware of, I may try again with a different (bootable) W98 CD disk. " defect closed other VirtualBox 1.6.0 duplicate other other
