hi.

sorry if this is a faq, but i didn't find anything with google.

i have this line:
disk = [ 'file:/home/winxp.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
in a hvm windows xp image.

/home/winxp.img is 4 GB, i have to expand it to 8 GB.

i have tried both dd with in append mode and dd another 4 GB file and then cat 
tempfile >> winxp.img.

when i boot xp, i can see the correct disk size, but it stop at "Booting from 
Hard Disk...".

now on, i have tried to dd to zero the first 446 byte with a live cd, start 
with xp install cd in repair mode and i made both fixmbr and fixboot but i 
still get the error.

do you have some hint?

thanks
Daniele Palumbo
