Got it. After changing 3 bytes starting at offset 12 to '000080', which is corresponds to 8388608 sectors, everything works perfectly. 4GB is much more convenient for testing in an emulator. Thanks! New hpa.dat attached for anybody playing along. To create ~4GB VirtualBox disks use these commands: $ dd if=/dev/null of=dmraid_hpa-1.raw seek=8388608 $ dd if=~/tmp/dmraid/hpa.dat of=dmraid_hpa-1.raw conv=notrunc seek=8388597 $ VBoxManage convertdd dmraid_hpa-1.raw dmraid_hpa-1.vdi $ VBoxManage modifyvdi /<path-to>/dmraid_hpa-1.vdi compact $ mv dmraid_hpa-1.raw dmraid_hpa-2.raw $ VBoxManage convertdd dmraid_hpa-2.raw dmraid_hpa-2.vdi $ VBoxManage modifyvdi /<path-to>/dmraid_hpa-2.vdi compact
