You should be able to download a decent copy of 98 and just boot into the install with a floppy...

For XP you can simply download an XP image that's bootable and make sure you burn it to the disk as a bootable image; then you can just boot off it.

Probably the best way to go is with Windows 2000, that way you can skip the whole activation headache.

There's a torrent of it here:

http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/494602/1037076/

It's an ISO which you burn to CD and boot with. The key is in the ISO at root level, so once you've burned it to cd, just open the cd and the key will be there in a text file.

If you're not a member of Demonoid, I believe signups are open at the moment so you can simply register. If not, PM me for an invite.

Incorporating a virus into a working ISO of an OS would actually be quite tricky. You can see from the comments on Demonoid that that ISO works fine.
