Windows 98 Download

It seems like every tutorial on the internet describes how to install from an iso file. I don't want to do this because I don't have an iso file and I don't want to pay for a program to extract the iso from my windows 98 cd. Poweriso free version only allows a file up to 300MB to be extracted from disc. My copy of 98 is much larger than this. I can't figure out how to boot from a live cd and install the os from disk in virtualbox. Is this even possible without the iso file? I'm doing this for my dad who just got an old windows game for his birthday. I feel bad for him that he can't play it. Any help is appreciated
