Creating an Image
Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is
included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, 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 disc 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.)
MS Windows
You can use the tool “RawWrite for Windows”. It is included on the CD ROM shipped with
IP-KVM switch.
Figure 6-10. RawWrite 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 “Copy” to initiate the image creation
process.
