Can you provide a bootable disk image?

Mini vMac FAQ
No. This would require Apple System Software, involving issues similar to those mentioned above for ROM images. Except that System Software may be downloaded freely from Apple. Maybe someday. The next computer that I plan to emulate is the Mac II, which has color. (See bounties) Meanwhile, you could try Basilisk II. It might be possible to hack the ROM of the Mac Plus to support larger screen sizes.

My computer is not bootable and it appears the entire partition is gone. Can my data be recovered?

Data Recovery Frequently Asked Questions by Independent Tech...

Do NOT attempt to run utilities or self-recovery software. This will only cause more damage. No. Treat your hard drive like a new born baby. Never shake it for any reason. At best, it will have no affect. At worst, shaking the hard drive will cause physical damage.

How do I resize a disk image?

FrequentlyAskedQuestions - #qemu Wiki
where hdd.img is the raw format image that you want to resize and N is the new size that you want the image to be, in megabytes. To change the units of N, change obs to something else such as 1GB for units in gigabytes (1000x1000x1000). If you want to resize a raw image but you do not want it to become sparse (you actually want those zeros in the file) then do "dd if=/dev/zero of=image seek=S count=N-S obs=1" instead, where N is the new size and S is the old size (in bytes).

What is a hard disk partition?

How to create windows xp boot disk, how to make ms dos boot ...
Creating separate sections on a disk is called partitioning. Partitions are analogous to separate physical disk drives and do not depend on each other. To visualize a partition, think of a large cabinet. A cabinet with no drawers would have just one partition — everything would be stuffed into the same area. Now think about a cabinet with 3 drawers. You now can separate like items into different drawers. Now consider a disk drive.

Why does Partition Resizer move all the data around my disk?

zeleps.com
This is done for two reasons. Indeed, moving the data is not necessary for shrinking a partition. But leaving the data in it's original place, results in unused sectors in the partition's FAT, which is lost space. The second reason is that you cannot grow a partition without growing it's FAT, and in order to grow the FAT, you have to move the data.

Should I index my entire hard disk?

FAQ
You could, but we do not recommend this. A new computer right out of the box can have 50,000 to 100,000 files on its hard disk. Most of these are of very little use to you in terms of searching, because they do not contain any textual information. They are just files that are needed by the operating system and bundled applications. It better to use the Filehand Search folder chooser to select only the folders that contain files you care about.
