How to make a disk image with a volume of more than 4 GB?

[Piligrim-77]

Hi. Please tell me how to create a disk image larger than 4 GB on a Windows computer? I don't have macOS or Linux.
I found the Disk Jockey program, but it creates disk images for a volume of only up to 4 GB.
Link to the program:

I will be glad if someone describes a way to create disk images in the format ".hda" or will share a ready-made image for 8 GB or 16 GB.
Thank you in advance.

On windows 10/11 there is a command called fsutil that can create an empty file of arbitrary size:
fsutil file createNew HD0-4gb.hda 4294967296 for 4gb. The size argument is in bytes so you'll have to calculate it out.

DiskJockey has a community form here - i think he'll be releasing a version soon to create very large volumes https://github.com/OneGeekArmy/Disk-Jockey-Community/issues

There is no format to an hda file (well until your vintage machine formats it) so any file will do. heck you could even create a 4gb text file and it would work :)

Hope that helps you

DJ windows now supports up to 256gb image file creation.
