Hi,
I have a harddisk image file that I use in various PC emulators, but I can't use it in MESS. When I run the machine it says "invalid file".

MAME needs hard disk images to be in CHD format. You'll have to convert it.

How can I convert it?
And now it seems it doesn't want to unmount. I unmount the file and the error message remains.

chdman createhd -c none -i original_disk.bin -o mame_disk.chd
The "-c none" is important - it makes the CHD not compressed, so you can write to it.
