Hi there

This seems to work but since my image is a Windows XP install, resizing like that didn't work for me.

I resized my image, that worked OK but I think the mbr inside the image was messed up and qemu wouldn't boot it.

If you have an idea on how to o this for a WinXP image could you please tell me.

Thanx

PS: Nice post.

I followed these instructions on a w98 image and got it to work.
1. Add to file size as directed in article.
2. Use qtparted to resize partition
3. Boot with w98 resscue floppy
4. Run “fdisk /mbr”
5. Run “sys c:”
6. Start qemu as before…
