Selecting the screen size of the emulator in built-in, it is best to choose the first option, which is the default option with the defaults in front of you. Finally click on the bottom of the "Create AVD" button to complete the creation of the simulator, because I entered the wrong name, so I can not click.

Administrator is your computer's user name, if not the user name, please change.

LUTHUI.AVD is the AVD name of the simulator you created, please change it to your own.

Find sdcard.img file can be arbitrary read and write files, need to use disc image file authoring/editing/conversion tools, file management, I generally use ultraiso tools. You can download and install it here:
