Hello guys!

I need a bootable hard disk. I created a hard disk image through bximage:

cyl = 1024
heads = 16
sectors per track = 63
total sectors = 1032192
Total size = 504.00 mb (528482304 b)
Bytes per sectors = 528482304 / 1032192 = 512

I typed in DosBox imgmount 2 "d:\disk\c.img" -size 512, 63, 16, 1024 -t hdd -fs none
I had a message: "The image must be on a host or local drive"

I tried imgmount d "d:\disk\c.img" -size 512, 63, 16, 1024 -t hdd -fs none
I had a message: "Must specify drive number (0 or 3) to mount image at (0,1=fda,fdb;2,3=hda,hdb)."

So I need Your help to solve this problem. I tried to mount img location first, but it does not chage anything.

Thank you for your attention!

Maybe try to write the -size parameter as -size 512,63,16,1024
not as -size 512, 63, 16, 1024
