Information about the problem:
VMware and VirtualBox do not detect the Retail (Full) isos at startup, and go to network boot
After trying a Windows 98 Boot Floppy, It gives me this error message:
After using FDISK to try to resolve the previous, it just crashes trying to open the Windows 98/ME Setup, same with /is at the end (Skip Scandisk)
If this matters, I store my virtual machines on an external hard drive.
Another thing is I recently tried to install Mac (Hack) OS X on VMware and VirtualBox, and that probably has something to do with it.
