Re Virtual PC 2007 - How to install Win98SE or get it to read image of old laptop HD with Win98SE?
On my WinXPPro SP3 desktop, I would like to run Windows Virtual PC 2007 and "dump" into it my entire old Win98SE laptop, so that my old Win98SE laptop will live forever.
I have no Win98SE OS disks to install the "guest" OS - the only source for the OS is my old Win98SE laptop. What to do?
This is what I have done so far:
I have run Clonezilla on my old Win98SE laptop to make an image of its entire hard drive on an external drive.
Then I re-connect the external hard drive to my new WinXPPro SP3 desktop. The first time I am using Virtual PC 2007 on my new WinXPPro SP3 desktop, I am successfully getting Virtual PC 2007 to boot up off the Clonezilla iso file, so that Clonezilla can run. However, Clonezilla/Virtual PC do NOT see the external hard drive and therefore cannot "restore" the old laptop image into Virtual PC 2007.
Clonezilla running in Virtual PC 2007 is giving me these error messages:
"Error! No unmounted partition(s) are found! To use Clonezilla to save or clone a partition, the source partition must be unmounted! Press "Enter" to exit...
"No disk image is found in /home/partimag.. Make sure you already saved an image! Or make sure you did not try to restore an image saved from partition(s) to disk(s)! Program terminated!!!"
Any thoughts???
Thanks.
