    Hello, I'm new to Mac and Parallels. I have installed the trial version on my machine to see if all my OS needs will install.
    I have a 2015 MBP 16GB ram, 500GB HDD. I have successfully installed 7, and XP with no problems. I also need 98 to install so I can use older programs the will only operate in 98 environment. (I do radiology service) When trying to install the 98SE, it says to have 3.5 floppy with boot disk installed and always says there is no drive.
    I have read the articles on your support page, and attempted to find web sources for articles, and videos with no avail.
    I have mounted the floppy to both the Mac, and the VM, no change in message. I have installed (tried) OS via CD, CD image, Image on USB, Image on desktop, same results. I have also tried to link the boot floppy to a desktop image instead of floppy.

    Anyone have any ideas on this?

    Thanks in advance.
    Clint

    Hi David, are you trying to install Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE?

    David, please check if there any issue with the Parallels Desktop installation. You can try re-installing Parallels Desktop and check how it goes.
