I don't know if you will find a manual per se, because I don't know if one exists. I know that the vmware image is a std IDE drive that win98 can find without issue. Your problem is converting your current physical pc to your vmware image. You have options, such as the vmware converter (which is where I would start), and then advanced options like ghosting from the physical to the vmware (I use ghost8 dos version) using bartpe or something similar. Linux makes some freeware imaging tools that would work here as well, the name escapes me but they are included in bartPE (www.ubcd4win.com <http://www.ubcd4win.com/> for the easiest way to build a bartPE cd)
Hope that gets you in the right direction. _____ From: Anthony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 12:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Windows 98 to Virtual Machine So far I've worked with Virtual PC 2004/2007, to date just to create a new XP and Vista install. I do have access to Microsoft's Virtual Server product if that would be better. I'm looking at WinDriver Ghost. It appears to allow for backup of your current drivers. What exactly is this conversion? I'm guessing I need to perform the following steps, I'm just not sure what software I should be using: # 1 Convert my old Win98 install to an image of some sort..use Acronis? Virtual PC? #2 Restore old Win98 image to Virtual PC somehow...use Acronis? Virtual PC software? Convert old drivers to some kind of stock Virtual PC drivers during either step #1 or step #2. A bit more detailed steps, or reference to a manual explaining these steps in a bit more detail would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Check out : windriver ghost in advance to save all your drivers you cant get :-) , run the conversion and you should be good to go. _____ From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 1:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Windows 98 to Virtual Machine ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
