+If 256 bytes per sector are selected, you can choose +between 128 and 256 Bytes in boot sectors. +Physically, boot sectors (first three sectors on a +disk) are also 256 bytes long, but only 128 are +transmitted between the Atari and a disk drive (upper +halves of sectors are not used). There are disk +images with 128 bytes in boot sectors and disk images +with 256 bytes in boot sectors. The Atari800 emulator +supports both, but other emulators don't.

-If the "Insert New Disk image into drive" checkbox is checked, the -created image will be mounted on the specified drive.
+In the Create Hard Disk Image window, you may +choose the type of the image. There are three +standard types:
++
+You can specify the size of the image either in +size in megabytes or the number of 512 byte sectors. +- RAW Image - There are no headers in this image type, and all 512 byte sectors of the hard disk are stored in order in the image file.
+- Fixed VHD Image - This is a Virtual Box/Windows 10 compatible image where all of the sectors of the disk image are written at creation, and the disk image will be the same size during it's entire life.
+- Dynamic VHD Image - This is a Virtual Box/Windows 10 compatible image where all of the sectors of the disk image are written as neede, and the disk image will grow as more data is added.
+
+The image is created with either a .raw or .img +filename depending on type. VHD types are created +with the .img file on the Mac. If you want to use +it with a Windows machine, you should change the name +to .vhd. If you create a FAT16 or FAT32 partition on +the hard drive image using the FDISK tool on the +Atari, you can format and mount that partition on the +Mac. For instructions on how to do this, see the +Handle Hard Disk Images page. +
+
+If the "Insert New Disk image into drive" checkbox is +checked, the created image will be mounted on the +SIDE2 cartridge.
