jsolares Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 And no, i'm not talking about virtual pc, but a free lil program called QEMU Free OS Zoo QEMU Windows Portit might not be as fast as VMWare albeit it doesnt seem to be much slower, but it's small and FREE as in free beer, and probably most people tinkering with nlite and vmware can get the hang of using QEMU.

MCT Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 this looks good, i havent really tried it (im defragging my hdd atm)but it has definate potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 i cannot understand this.. qemu.exe -L . -m 64 -boot a -fda floppy.img -hda harddisk.img -cdrom cdimage.iso -L : bios location -m : memory size (Mbyte) -boot : boot device floppy(a), hard disk©, CD-ROM(d) -fda : floppy image -hda : hard disk image -cdrom : CD-ROM imagei first need 2 burn my image 2 CDR ? IMO if thats the case it kinda defeats the purpose EDIT: ive got it 2 boot from cd, by just using -cdrom blah.iso but setup complains about not having a hdd there, how do i "make" 1? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think this is it.3. Hard diskYou can make hard disk image which is 10 MB as follows.$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./harddisk.img bs=1024 count=10000I've heard about this program but haven't tried it yet.Anyone else have any comments on it?Edit: Disregard above... It's for Linux... I didn't read what I was pasting...Edit: No good for me... A hard disk image file is up to 2GB.Inside the readme file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 even setting in the "bios" to boot from cdrom instead of hdd is a task i cannot figure out how lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsolares Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 -boot dthat's for booting from cdrom instead of floppy, as for creating an hd image, you could take a big file and use that, the installer from FreeOS Zoo has an utility to make such files, i'm also attaching it to here.and indeed it seems that it has a limit of 2Gb, but perhaps thats beacuse of fat32 and might make bigger images on ntfs.mkqemuimage.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
