Can't initialize 4GB disk

Post by vlad557776 »

Hello. Recently I tried to install Mac OS X 10.3 on QEMU. I ran into a problem: it didn't recognize the hard disk. I tried to initialize it in Mac OS 9.2 (Drive Setup didn't recognize the hard disk too), Mac OS X 10.0 (I couldn't find the "initialize" button), Mac OS X 10.2 (stuck at "unmounting old volume").

Can someone help me?

I can´t help really, but seem to recall that Qemu wants images of RAW type.
Here is one included (#5) Cat_7 made for PearPC. Can´t harm to try.

Well, maybe it will work, but I don't have enough space for this disk.

Well, I don't know what the hell is happening in QEMU's code, I finally partitioned the new disk. Don't know what happened.
