Attaching a Drive File to C: or D:

If you have already attached the drive file in the previous step, skip this procedure.

After you have created a drive file, you need to attach it to one of your emulated hard drives. You can either do this in the Create New Hard Drive dialog box, as explained in the previous section, or you can attach the drive file in a separate step. (For example, if you clicked the Do Not Attach button in the Create New Hard Disk dialog box, you would need to attach the drive file before using it.)

To attach the file, perform the following procedure:

  1. From the Options menu, choose the Attach a Hard Drive command.

    The SunPCi Drive Attach dialog box is displayed.

  2. Type in the path and file name of the file you created in Creating a Hard Drive File.

    If you want to make this file a new C: drive, type it into the C: Drive field. If you want the file to attach to a D: drive, type the path and file name into the D: Drive field.

  3. Click OK.

    The file is now attached to C: or D:.

  4. From the File menu, choose Reboot to apply your changes.

    SunPCi displays the Reboot dialog box.

  5. Click OK.

    SunPCi reboots and uses the new attached drives.
