Notice: to be able to use a shared host/guest folder the VM Additions must be installed in the guest OS. (Menu 'action' 'install VM additions', guest reboot needed)
Or you put AB's GPM2 game on a CD(RW) and mount that CD in VPC, as you wish. But then you'll need to copy the whole game from CD on the guest's C: to be able to save.(CD icon menu bar)

Always share a folder, never a complete drive, create a specific 'shared' folder for VPC, better safe than sorry.

And once you get everything working swell it's time to backup (zip) your VHD file, should you completely screw up something in W98VPC it's only a matter of two minutes to put a working VHD back. Just saying.
