I'm looking for a good set of steps to install Windows98SE from cd into Fusion 2.0.2 with a few tips if possible. What is the best source for this?

For some reason, Fusion did not want to boot from my Windows 98SE CD. I found a Windows 98 boot floppy image on the Internet which includes CD drivers. From there I could run SETUP.EXE from the CD and the rest was standard.

HTH,

Bart

I am well aware of that and every Windows 95/98 CD-ROM that I bought came with a Windows Setup Boot Floppy.as well.

Any Windows 98 boot floppy image on the Internet is illegally distributed and Microsoft did not distribute it to the general public.
