Disk Jockey is a free application for macOS and Windows that allows you to create disk images of any size. It can create simple disk images, and more complex ones with multiple partitions (HFS and ProDOS).
You can also create empty disk images on the command line.
The following instructions demonstrates the process using dd on a modern Mac:
dd if=/dev/zero of=example.hda bs=1m count=500
dd: invalid number: '1m'
, you need to capitalize the ‘m’.dd if=/dev/zero of=example.hda bs=1M count=500
count
field defines the number of megabytes (bs=1m
) the total disk image should be.of=example.hda
field.For windows, use this. No need to install, navigate to the folder and execute command in CMD. Your total disk size would be bs*count.
