+ + +Although the emulator has the ability to create +VHD hard disk images, there are some tips needed +to use them with the Mac OS. +

+For the Mac to be able to mount the disk images +to access FAT16 or FAT32 partitions, the file must +be names .img (instead of .vhd). +

+Even then the Mac is not able to mount the image if +the FAT partitions are not formated. So the image +needs to be mounted with a special command and +formated first. For this example, we will consider +a hard disk image, named test.img, that has a +FAT16 partition as the first partition.

+Entering the following into the Mac terminal

+ +sudo hdik test.img
+sudo newfs_msdos -F 16 /dev/disk3s1
+sudo hide -e /dev/disk3
+
+Note, the disk number may vary in your case. +In this case it is "3", so you use disk3 and disk3s1 +in the commands. The output of the hdik command will +let you determine the disk number.

+Once you have done this, from then on you can mount +the disk normally with:
