That should do it. All Basic drives on a .vhd image must be 35 track. So any 
drive backed up to a .vhd drive must have 35 tracks.

It is also necessary that the boot module on a .vhd drive must work with .vhd 
images. This is not the standard Boot module found on any of the NitrOS-9 
nightly builds. The correct Boot module is in the RGBDOS package.
