I thought that. Stuck Virtualbox on. First off I totally forgot 98se isn't a boot disk. So I booted from a 98 boot CD. Then ran fdisk, formatted the partition, ran setup from the 98cd and it wouldn't have it.

Tried to stick 2000 on, it seemed to be working, stuck the code in, ran setup, it keeps repeating setup, doesn't seem to want to boot from the virtual drive, I can't figure out why it is doing it. I changed the boot order and forced it to boot from Hard Disk, just keeps repeating the setup process.

Can Virtualbox deal with D3D?

I would rather install it in a Virtual PC if I am honest. More convenient. I wonder if it will run in Linux in Virtualbox with Wine?
