"Windows98 do not know NTFS. They only know FAT12/16/32, with support for long filenames strapped on (the original DOS could not do that)." You're correct. If you look at the tab in the previous attachment that displays Ultimate Imager and Win98, it is indeed Fat32. I just took whatever the

Yes, I understand Narcis. They're NTFS, but I'm referring to each one as Win98 or WinXP, because I'm getting different results from each partition. Yes, I'm doing the install & testing, inside Qemu Manager for Windows, before copying the image to Android. In both cases - Win98 and WinXP - they run

There doesn't exist "Windows XP" or "Windows 98" partitions. Them can be formatted as FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS. If yout target is Bochs, you should make the work with Bochs con your computer too. Narcis Garcia El 28/6/20 a les 5:04, Dan Campbell ha escrit: > Hi, > > I'm using a virtual disc

Partition Magic is still around?  I remember the Dos versions, but thought they had closed shop years ago. There's a Partition Master, but it only opens partitions on your hard drive.  As far as I can see, it won't open BxImage image files, that act as repositories for Windows partitions.

Dear Dan, I do not have an answer on "how to do all this in Windows". Not an easy one anyway. *Are we* talking Windows btw? Some of the things that you're asking for, might be worked around by booting Windows (or DOS!) and Ghost or Partition Magic in a VM, providing the disk images to the VM,

Hi Ottavio, Yes, I know all this.  As stated, I've already created images with BxImage, then performed the install with Qemu Manager, which installs the Operating System, into the image that was generated by BxImage. Also, I know you can't add files to the image, inside the context of

Hi, I'm using a virtual disc created in Qemu Manager. It contains a Windows XP partition. I'm not able to add files or change anything with PowerISO. If I open the c.img file with PowerISO and try to add a few files, PowerISO returns an error that it has to truncate dozens of folder names
