Those of us using frugal under qemu have been looking at ways to make a file that can be used as a virtual hard drive.  Much to my surprise, I have come across a Windows XP utility that can do this!

fsutil file createnew <filename> <length>
fsutil file createnew C:\testfile.txt 1000

haven't tried it, but no reason it shouldn't work.  You can then edit the bat file and make this a virtual drive and then after boot run mkfs.

You could also use qemu-img. More info in the < qemu user guide >
