I'm trying to use g4u (which is AWESOME, btw) to pull a single windows
98 partition from an old machine and install it into a virtual machine
on Parallels. I have managed to upload both the single partition, and
the entire disk (with all the partitions, and XOSL boot manager) to a
.gz file, but when I load g4u in Parallels, and slurp the disk, or the
partition, Parallels freezes up trying to read from the virtual hard
drive.

One person has managed to migrate a win98 installation successfully
(http://forum.parallels.com/thread9706.html), but I imagine this was
from an unpartitioned disk.

The partition layout looks like this:

WinXP (testing partition)
Win98 (development partition)
Extended partition
  Data partition
XOSL partition

All I want is to get the Win98 partition to boot, but I would happily
move the entire disk structure to a VM as well, but neither seem to
work.

I know this is a bit sparse, but I've tried doing this 5 or 6 ways,
and it's sucking the life out of me. If anybody has any ideas about
what I need to look for/setup/keep in mind, I would be grateful for
the help.

Thanks,
