I have beos pe 5, using the image for my hard drive, but it's only 500MB, I've run out of space, is there a way to make another image(my disk is 20GB) and mount that image also on boot-up, say maybe another 500MB image or 1GB, and run both images, say one for the system and the other new image run along side mounted as a drive for my games and progs. I don't want to partition this drive for beos, because I use almost everything for windows so I can't do that. Joel

Sure, use any open/blank/unused partiton. There is a program called "Installer", use it and be careful to pick from and to. There is also a Drivesetup that will help you see partitions.

I know that, but I don't have open partitions on my drive, I don't want to install it as a partition, I just want to make another image like "image.be" to kind of like fake another drive, is there a way to do this, whenever I try to mount the image that I creat it gives me errors and closes down Deskbar and the system crashes and I have to restart?

OHHHH, I think there are a few how to's on the web. It is my opinion that you must have a single "contigious" file! Somewhere I think on osnews Eugenia wrote it has to be a correct size, some sort of multiple of 512? That is one of the things that the install shield does, contigious that is. You would need to create a larger single file and rename it image.be and try to mount it and format it and then do an install to. Then rename the directory so you can boot into it. Only guesses. But I have read it more than a few times. Guess you could look at some of the things at bebits on images. Some author (sorry forgot who) does quite a few image apps. Maybe he made an app that will mount a blank file as an iso? Otherwise you could get the Developer Edition and run it as a live CD? Keep searching. This has been done plenty of times. Maybe try betips.net, maybe that is where I saw this.
