I would like to utilize Qemux, since VPC 6 doesn't work, for me with Tiger on iMac g5.
Instead of installing the whole bunch of Windows and Office again, I would like to import the C and D drives of the VPC 6.
I don't find a way to do it.

I would appreciate guiding.

TIA

Unless I'm mistaken, QEMU cannot use drive images from VPC images which are that recent. It can import images from older versions -I've got VPC3 images which mostly work with it- but not versions more recent than that. I don't know exactly why this is, but apparently somewhere along the line they switched the format to something QEMU doesn't understand.

This said, in some ways I've got the opposite question: I want to put a fresh install of Windows 95 on a blank QEMU image. I have a CD, but QEMU refuses to boot from it, and ripping the disc to an ISO doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Windows 95 never had the ability to boot from a CD, at least the ones i've come across.
You'll need a boot floppy image file.

I think that on QemuX site there are explanations as to the floppy disk image.
