Simpley just do this

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_6gb.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\test.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "Mac Os 9.iso"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

thats the real one now you just do this

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_6gb.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\test.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "to a hard drive.img"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "hd"

now there only one thing you will not have a cdrom but you will be using 2 hard drive. i posted this becasue i thought that no one might of know that.

Yeah it works, I use it all the time. I have a 3gb boot image and a 6gb storage drive.

Very nice.....seeing that this is something people are probably going to want to export programs and files back and forth this should make it into the nightly "one day"

How did you format the second drive? Using the Disk Utility inside OS X?

Can I edit a Mac formatted image with an ISO tool like UltraISO, add Mac files to it, then save the changes on the image and use it in PearPC, so that I can get some files (like OS X update packages) in my PearPC system?

I would assume so.....remember the images are touchable however readable by PearPC. So as long as it is in a format that a Mac can read I don't see why not

OK how do you do that in ultraiso because i tryed just opening the file and it said like iso 966 file something error does this mean it cant open .img files in the open thing in the drop down file type box it says it supports .img......so is there something im missing???????

Thanks
