AROS Live on qEmu to install on host-disk
« on: April 23, 2011, 06:17:26 PM »
If I boot AROS Live using the Emulator which comes along the DVD ISO, can I from there install AROS on the free space on my HDD which is hosting the operating system ?

The HDD has a lot of unpartitioned space. And it has no DVD player.

I also tried to insert a USB stick while running AROS Live on the qEmu but it did not see any USB devices.

Any tips ?

Did you boot off the DVD itself or did you also boot AROS via qEmu thru windows ?
When I boot AROS Live via qEmu I can install to the virtual harddisk of 8GB which is what is configured for qEmu environment (it seems)  -- but I can not see any physical harddisks, nor any USB devices which I connect.

I wonder how I can get AROS via qEmu to see the USB stick or the Physical disk on my machine.

I'll try to boot the ISO using virtual box as you suggested. Maybe then, AROS will see my USB stick so I can install on this one.
