[QUOTE="Wombat123, post: 818466, member: 66409"] As the title says, this could be a hard one. Basically I have a Hard drive from an Old Win 98 Machine which I need to try and run/boot on my Mac book pro running Leopard. Can anyone think of a way of attaching my hard drive to my mac and then running it as per normal as if it was attached to an old PC, I have VMware fusion which I use to run a copy of XP on my MAC but I can't think of a way of using that to run my 98 HD. I could easily install a copy of 98 on VMware fusion but I'm not that sure if that will help. I have an adapter which turns my old HD IDE connection into a USB connection so thats not a problem. Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thankx [/QUOTE]
