I recently had to change hard drive, but copied the win98.sk file from the
old drive so I could use it again without reinstalling Win98 etc. But I
haven't even got that far. Even if I start with the config wizard,
creating a new virtual machine and virtual disk, it crashes as soon as I
click Power ON, way before the Phoenix BIOS appears, where normally I
would start to load the guest os. I was hoping to get it running, then
replace the .dsk file with the one from my old drive, but as I say, I
haven't even got VMWARE to pwer on a new machine.
