Both. > Just to double check, I created the virtual partition with dd of=win.img > bs=1024 seek=2000000 count=0 I forgot one very important part. The calculation needs to be <img size in bytes> / (heads * sectors per cylinder * 512 bytes) = cylinders. so in your case, the calculation is close > I am not sure to calculate the cylinders 2 000 000 / 16 / 63 = 1984,126 > ??? well, the default sector size is 512, and you've done your sizing in number of 1k blocks, your calculations was close. It should be: blocks secs/block hds sec/cyl (2 000 000 * 2 ) / ( 16 * 63 ) = 3968 The first time I did the math, my 2g partition went to 8g partition when I used the -hdachs parameters cause I really screwed up the math. (it appears if you mess your c-h-s values, your image since may change. :-) HTH, and sorry for the confusion.
