Re: How to add files to an existing img partition.

[DC]

Hi Ottavio,


I'm just trying to generate Win98 and WinXP partitions in an image file 
that can be loaded by Bochs or iBochs in Android.  More detail is in the 
response to Frantisek.

I generated (after 2 weeks of trial & error) a Win98 partition about a 
month ago, and can add files with PowerISO, but don't know how to resize 
it.  I was also able to finally generate a WinXP loadable image that's 
large enough, but cannot add files to it.


Details are in the Frantisek response, but here I've attached images of 
PowerISO and Ultimate Imager.

I also used PowerISO to generate the WinXP iso, from a (legitimate) 
Setup CD, which was then used in Qemu to generate the partition in an 
empty image created by Boch's BxImage.


I don't mind paying a hundred or two hundred bucks (even more) for 
software that performs the entire process from start to finish, when we 
supply it a 98 or XP ISO.  So any suggestions in that area, are welcome.


Regards,


DC
