Finding disk geometry
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2009 7:53 pm
Hello there I have a *.vhd (generated by Windows) that I'm trying to use in Boch but I don't know how to find the geometry.
The VHD is exactly 134218240 bytes large.
The following values is what I gave Bochs:
Cyl: 260
Heads: 16
SPT: 63
Boch complains that these values are incorrect. However I do not know how to find disk geometry properly, I got this values by using bximage to create a 128MB image (but the size is off by 0.03MB of the Window's image)
So my question is how do I find disk geometry properly?
