(Of course you'll need to have the system discs to hand.) Right now you can install Google Chrome OS, all the mainstream Linux variants (2.4 and 2.6), OpenBSD, OS/2, ReactOS, SkyOS, DOS, and just about every version of Windows there's ever been. VirtualBox can also be a useful security tool: if you download and test apps in a VM, then any malware you might encounter will be isolated from your main system.Īnd it's the perfect choice if you want to try out another operating system with the minimum of hassle. Or maybe you've upgraded to Windows 10 and find a favourite old app doesn't work any more? Create a Windows XP VM and you might be able to run it again. If you'd like a closer look at Windows 10 before you upgrade, for instance, then you could install Microsoft's latest in a VM, then access it in a window on your XP or Vista desktop. It's a powerful capability that has many different applications.

I got the ISO from a Mega link in this video tutorial for 256 color mode on Windows 98 because I've been trying desperately to get 256 color mode enabled in the VM for games that require it which is most of the games I wanted this VM for in the first place. There are no Guest Additions for Win9x, hence no possible way to access the graphics chipset. Can you access the contents (not just display the directory)?Īlso - you can turn off 3D graphics acceleration. What happens if you open the ISO in Windows Explorer on the host? (Right click the ISO, Open With, choose Windows Explorer). Where did this ISO come from? How was it created and by whom? In that case the ISO is only 68KB, including the filesystem and all files, which seems a bit light. And I believe that is referring to 512 byte sectors, not the 2048 byte sectors of the data CD spec. However it does seem to be suspiciously small, only 136 sectors. Mpack wrote:I don't see any error in the log regarding the ISO.
