This is not supported and even if you make it work it won’t work reliably.
Try DOSBox-X

The "size" parameter is supposed to be four specific numbers separated by commas. See for instance http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT#Hard_disk_images . I have no idea why you are writing "--size 1.073.479.680,4193280".

In the tutorial 812 is the cylinder count which is 4193280 for me.

Thanks, but where can i get the Windows binaries for DOSBox-X? All i could see is it's source code. And i don't know how to compile it under Windows. I don't either know what tools do i have to use for compiling it under Windows.

Just use pcem. No point of using DOSBox with 9x as a guest.

Look at the tutorial again. If a 400 MB image has a cylinder count of 812, why would a 990 MB image have a cylinder count of 4193280 ? And why are you writing "1.073.479.680" ?

Hi,

I'd like to install Windows 95 on plain DOSBox 0.74 and found a nice tutorial for it, but i stuck at mounting the hard drive image. In the tutorial there's this command: imgmount 2 c.img -size 512,63,16,812 -t hdd -fs none
For me, it looks like this: imgmount 2 .\DOS\c.img --size 1.073.479.680,4193280 -t hdd -fs none (disk size is 0,99 GB, created with Bochs' disk image creator). After typing in the command, i should see something like: Drive number 2 mounted as c.img., but i get The disk image must be on a local or network drive. if i don't put '2' into the command or put it to somewhere else (e.g. the end of the command or before -size), it warns me that an assigned drive number is needed.
What am i doing wrong?

I've beeen having issues with this for YEARS, keep in mind this is for Android DosBox.

if yout getting it must be on local or host error, crrate a directory with the image in it, Say directory F, put the image in it, mount F.

the imgmount G f:imgname.

commands in my settings below. this was an hdd image iI downloaded blank HDD Images from:

https://sites.google.com/site/dotalshoff/games/dosbox

Which also provides -size info.

heres my DosBox mount command, and this still needs work as D is mounted as the actual phone storage but F is the image. I just did this to copy DOS6.22,DOS7.1, and Win 3.11.

mount d: /mnt/sdcard/dos/f
d:
imgmount F "hddf.img" -size 512,63,64,1023 -t hdd -fs fat

Hope this helps someone out there, as I said YEARS trying to get this to work.
