invalid format multiple of 516096

Post by bhwong »

I have a physical harddisk from my spoiled iMac G5 and I have created a vmdk file from it.

When I attempt to boot from it, pearpc shows this error: "invalid format multiple of 516096"

My cfg file:

You're going to have to use a conversion tool to convert the VMDK into a file format PearPC can understand -- a raw disk image without headers. qemu-img can do this.
