11.2.5.1. Creating a Floppy Image
MS Windows
You can use the tool “Raw Write for Windows”. You can get the RawWrite software from
the website http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite.
Figure 57: Raw Write for Windows selection dialog
From the menu, select the tab “Read”. Enter (or choose) the name of the file in which you
would like to save the floppy content. Click on the button “Read” to initiate the image
creation process.
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, you can use the “dd” command. This is one of the original UNIX
utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, and Linux).
To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You can use the
following command:
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]
dd reads the entire disk from the device /dev/fd0, and saves the output in the specified
output file /tmp/floppy.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device
etc.).
