Been experimenting with VB myself.
A few bugs to sort, such as screen res in win98 & drivers for printer ports
& like.
Down loaded Sun virtualbox, it was a free download that supports USB.

I think the problem is NTFS.
Win98 does not like it.
The OS you are on perhaps XP Or some other would be using NTFS.
I got around this by buying a cartridge (caddy) that allows you to replace
the HD easily, with each HD with it's preferred OS.
Win98 with fat32 & XP, Win7 in NTFS, works well.
