Hello to everyone.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 X64 and I'm trying to install Windows ME on DosBox.
I'm stuck on making the hard disk image with bximage. Here is what I did :
root@ziomario:~/.dosbox# bximage

Do you want to create a floppy disk image or a hard disk image?
Please type hd or fd. [hd]
What kind of image should I create?
Please type flat, sparse or growing. [flat]
Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 129023
[10] 600
I will create a 'flat' hard disk image with
cyl=1219
heads=16
sectors per track=63
total sectors=1228752
total size=599.98 megabytes
What should I name the image?
[c.img]
Writing: [] Done.
I wrote 629121024 bytes to c.img.
The following line should appear in your bochsrc:
ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img", mode=flat, cylinders=1219, heads=16, spt=63
and inside dosbox 0.74 :
imgmount 2 c.img -size 512,63,16,1219 -t hdd -fs none
boot 622c.img
fdisk ; 1/1/Y
reboot
dosbox
imgmount c c.img
imgcount d d.img
boot 622c.img
format c:
FORMATTING : 95.9M --> when I created a 600 MB disk image...and I tried with a lot of combinations...only 400 MB with 812 cylinders seems to work great,but windows ME needs more space to be installed. At least 800 MB.
