Hi, I can't even install the iso file, 

please try to be more verbose in your report.

BTW you can actually install virtualbox-ext-pack it might help in virtualizing old iso images.

cheers,

G.

hi gianfranco,

i think this is a bug

i tried win98se again with the win9x project ISO pack - it failed with
the exact same error

i tried win98 - it had the general protection fault error attached

log enclosed

all the win9x project ISO pack worked about 6 months ago on a late
version 4 vbox

I downloaded an iso image from the website, and I can't start it
"FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted."

please provide a direct link to an iso file, otherwise I won't be able to
reproduce.

ok, this helps, but I would be able to install or reproduce the issue,
to debug it.

cheers,
