I am trying to install Windows 98 on a pretty modern computer, from 2010. Why? Because I want to see if I can.

Anyway, I am booting off a USB flash drive with [FreeDOS] on it. I formatted the USB flash drive with Rufus and copied the files to the USB flash drive.

Then I copied the Windows 98 files to it and also added `XMGR.SYS`. So I boot from the USB and it loads FreeDOS perfectly fine. I run the Windows 98 setup with `/nm` to bypass the no minimum of RAM, since it's on a modern computer.

ScanDisk goes perfectly fine with no problem what so ever. The Win98 installer loads perfectly fine and begins to “prepare the setup” with a loading screen. The loading is pretty quick and all but the problem is, when it reaches 100%, it just hangs and in the upper left corner it says:

> Remove diskette in drive A: \
> Insert diskette in drive B: \
> Press any key to continue ...

Additionally, my keyboard completely stops working. I have no idea why this happens: There are no floppy drives in my computer, only 1 CD drive and USB ports. Anybody who knows what is wrong? Or what I could do?

Here is a screenshot of the error:
