It's not enough to have just the partition in the image. If virtualpc already has a disk device perhaps you can grab this via dd or the like.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello... Look into the List archives. Some time ago there was one who wanted to do the same thing. I don't know if he succeeded to boot Win98, but the Memdisk-Diskimage aspect of the problem was discussed more than once in the list. beta coni wrote: | For a special task whit win98 i need to boot this sytem in a image of | 160mb (created with virtualpc 5.2 and dskread) with memdisk, but the I read this as "I succeeded to boot my Win98 image". | system shows me an error whit the master boot record and switchs | in dos compatibility mode.

Win98 might only be able to run in dos compatibility mode, because memdisk is a realmode driver (Am I right, hpa?) What do you mean with "... an error out of linux"? Do you think that linux causes your problem? Or are you saying that you might be off-topic? bye Christian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/OQb72gF1h3CVOsMRAnyUAJ9+pXHN+Pox2IDW5XyaKw73XXoL/ACfUxmj +0K6kcF7ALcBHhSfH+zsNnE=arFB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
