Windows 98 Installation for WinTel Tutorial

This tutorial will guide you through creating a disk image of your CD-ROM to accomplish the following:

1. Create a disk image of your Windows 98 CD. This step is optional; however it is STRONGLY recommended to SIGNIFCANTLY reduce the installation time. If the installation time is not a concern, then you may use your Windows CD directly and skip this step.

2. Create a WinTel Hard Disk image: A hard disk image is a virtual windows hard disk that we will need to install Windows or other operating systems on.

3. Boot Windows Setup: Startup the Bochs emulator using the Windows_98.dmg file (or whatever you named the image in step 1).

4. Run FDISK on the newly created WinTel Hard Disk image: This is required to partition the newly created hard disk image.

5. Run FORMAT on our new Hard Disk image: We must format our disk image before we can use it.

6. Install Windows (or other OS): Install an operating system on to our disk image.

7. Install the CD-ROM driver on our C: Drive: Install the CD-ROM drivers to our new hard disk.

8. Boot off the new C: Drive: Start using your new operating system.
