Did you get nothing similar? Incidentally, don't be scared off when the guest OS offers to partition / format your hard disk for you: it doesn't know it's running on virtual hardware, and it's the virtual hard disk that it's offering to format (it has no access to your real hard disk). I remember seeing an error message similar to yours regarding an uninitialized hard disk, but the Setup program followed that message with an offer to format the hard disk for me. To your basic question: I've never installed Win98 in VirtualBox, but have installed Win98SE from a bootable CD (I think this is the first version of Windows that shipped on bootable CDs). In other words, if a FAT filesystem is supposed to be written to the virtual hard disk then it is up to the guest OS to put it there - VirtualBox doesn't know or care about things like that. What the software inside the box does is entirely up to that software, that includes the choice of data to write to the hard disk, which includes the data that comprises the file system. VirtualBox provides a virtual hardware environment. Shineillinois wrote:But when i set a new virtual machine i chose the OS as win98, so i assumed it should then change it to FAT right?
