As I have read on this forum I have created with bochs bximage a 70Mbyte hard disk.
I have used the commandline
imgmount 2 c:\c.img -t hdd -size 512,63,16,142 -fs none
and i have booted from a floppy image of Dos 6.22 system disk.
After creating a partition with fdisk and formatting with format, i have mounted the drive with the commandline
imgmount e: c:\c.img -t hdd -size 512,63,16,142 -fs fat
Everything seemed to be all right, but when i try to copy a file into a new disk it's size change from 70Mb to 128Mb and the file is unreadable.
Why? The virtual disk created in this mode is read-only ?
😮

have you read this:
installing windows 3.11 (or any multiple floppy prog)

you have to boot from hdd now

for editing the hdd image you can use DiskExplorer http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/winimage.html
