Laptops :: Problem with boot

hello
i've got problem with dsl, i download it from here and then i write it on cd, it work good (with no problem)
but in windows, im trying to run it with qemu (qemu-0.8.2-windows), but it give me an error.

my command:
qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hda dsl.img
and
qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hda dsl.iso
Error:
Boot from hard disk 0 failed
FATAL: Not a bootable disk

im using Toshiba A100 with 1g ram and 2 os (Windows xp & Windows Vista).
by the way, im download this file dsl-3.2RC3.iso

Where did you get this "dsl.img" from?

Also, .iso images are cdrom images, not hdd images. Either extract that .iso and use the KNOPPIX file as it, but it's just probably easier to download dsl-embedded.

hello
fist of all thanks for your answer.
i made dsl.img myself (converting dsl.iso to dsl.img) - so i made mistake!
yes, may be you are right, but im using dial-up connectin with a low speed, so it would take a while to get.
now, im trying to make .img from KNOPPIX file.
i must make it from only this file? (i mean i didnt need other file in boot folder?)
again thanks

Moved to Embedded Section.

You can use the standard iso with Qemu.

qemu.exe -L . -m128 -boot d -cdrom dsl-3.2RC3.iso

Note the -boot d means to boot from cdrom
-cdrom specifies the dsl iso file that is normally written to cdrom.
