It has changed it mind. I have the image captured last night of it saying
"FAT32" for Drive Z, just now it says what is shown below.

Copied from display window of MSINFO32 "System Information" in Win 98 VM.

Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A
Clean install using Full OEM CD /T:C:\WININST0.400 /SrcDir=D:\WIN98 /IE
/NF /IZ /IS /IQ /IT /II /NR /II /C /U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
IE 5 5.00.2614.3500
Uptime: 0:00:02:10
Normal mode
On "<name>WIN98VM" as "<my name>"

AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
64MB RAM
94% system resources free
Windows-managed swap file on drive C (1733MB free)
Available space on drive C: 1733MB of 1994MB (FAT32)
Available space on drive Z: 205090MB of 238472MB (Ã¢Ã·Â¿g)

(I have no idea how those high ascii characters for drive Z formatting
display will travel over usenet.)

However, that still does not explain the dynamic .vhd being described as
FAT32 at 1994mb when its current size is 291mb.
