Trying to boot Win98, but I'm forced to use 2GB sticks..


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm trying to boot this old Bigfoot drive I have (thinking about doing a vid)  Problem is that I get that boot error about "not enough extended memory" (running Win98).  I'm forced to use 2GB sticks, I can't simply put 512 or 1GB stick in this machine. Is there a system file I can edit to force it to recognize just 512MB of RAM?  Or am I gonna have to find an old box to put this drive in instead?

I believe both vmware and virtualbox allow selecting an external disk as the boot drive. I used to do this back in college. so that should work for you (Y)
