Hi,

this is a regression in current QEMU: it cannot create disk images 
larger than 2^31 B (2 GiB).
It's discussed at 
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-01/msg00357.html.

A new version for MinGW now includes a patch which should fix that 
regression,
see http://www.weilnetz.de/qemu/2011-01-10/ (available in a few minutes).

I also added the missing http://www.weilnetz.de/qemu/msys-z.dll.

Kind regards,
Stefan Weil
