Hi,
I'm trying to make a Windows 98 machine by using VmWare.
The problem is that when I start the setup.exe of the win98 disk, it tells me that the partition must be of MS-DOS kind. So I used "partition magic" for configuring such partiton, but it doesn't contain such kind. The oldest kind is "FAT".
What can I do?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm not even going to ask why Windows 98 :) but here's what I found maybe someTo reinstall Windows:
---------------------------------------------------
1. Start Windows, and then insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Browse This CD, and then double-click Setup.exe.
3. Follow the instructions to complete the Windows Setup procedure.
Note: If Windows does not start and you need to run Setup from an MS-DOS prompt, click the Installing Windows 98 From MS-DOS link on the following Microsoft Web site:
