Creating a Writable .img File

1. Using Diskpart:

   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

   • Type diskpart and press Enter to launch the Diskpart utility.

   • Enter the following commands one by one:

     plaintext

     create vdisk file="C:\path\to\your\writable.img" maximum=1024 type=expandable select vdisk file="C:\path\to\your\writable.img" attach vdisk create partition primary format fs=ntfs quick assign letter=V

     Replace "C:\path\to\your\writable.img" with your desired path and name for the .img file, and adjust the maximum size (in megabytes) as needed. The assign letter=V assigns a drive letter to the virtual disk; you can choose a different letter if V is already in use.

2. Using Third-Party Tools (ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver):

   • Download and install ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver.

   • Open the ImDisk configuration tool.

   • Click on "Mount New...".

   • Choose the file path for your .img file.

   • Select the desired size and type (fixed or expandable).

   • Format the disk and assign a drive letter.
