Virtual Hard Disks in Windows

Post by AJ »

Hello,

When testing my OS in Bochs and VPC2004, I currently use a floppy disk image, which appears as drive b: in Windows (thanks to VFD), making it easy to link directly to the floppy disk and test instantly.

Is there a piece of software that does the same with VHDs - i.e. allows the virtual disk to appear as a separate drive in Windows, so that I can simply format it as FAT32 and copy my kernel over to it in Windows?

Cheers,

Adam
