Actually My Purpose is Debugging and Disassambling Application which needs stand alone OS.
Xp is a standalone os, why do you think you need 98?

arthurjb,
You are right that XP (I am using currently) and Windows 2000 are stand alone OS But, the tools (Some of them are 16 Bit) I gonna use can support Windows 98 Only.
Stand Alone OS means I can't use vmware.

Why do you need all the features of the chipset accesible to w98?
Why can't you use vmware? What do you mean stando alone OS????
Your test application will run inside windows 98 which is inturn running on a vmware virutal machine.
x^$#!?^%???
vmware is perfect for testing applications.
esecially if you need to test the application on multiple operating systems.

Nayema,
I am using SoftIce which is a kernel Level Debugger / Deassembler. When it loads It directly Byepasses the current OS and handles GUI and Input Hardware Directly. VMware runs with help of current OS itself (XP) and tracing applications may be quiet confussing.
Rindi,
It's a good sugession to leave unsupported features those we are not going to use but, It does not detects my CD-ROM.
Following phototropic's sugessions some of the drivers has been Installed but Primary & Secondary IDE Controller is creating problems resulting in CD-ROM invisible.
Regards

Add a PCI IDE card and connect the CD drive to that. OR if it doesn't work with the builtin USB ports, add a PCI USB card and use a USB CD Drive.
Easy solution to this one:
Take your nice computer to a second-hand computer shop. Exchange it for an old Pentium-II and $100. Install Windows 98 on the old Pentium-II, then take the $100 and go to the pub :)

I would go t e-bay and purchase for about 175 windows xp pro. As mentioned win98 is not supported anymore by Microsoft. Microsoft is even coming out with a new OS system code named "vista' which will make win98 really obsolete. This site is the only one that supports win98.

Rather than asking "How can I run win 98 on the box?", tell the experts what you are trying to do that makes you think you need to use an obsolete operating system on a newer hardware platform.
Maybe someone has solved the same problem with an up to date operating system...
