Creating a Floppy Image:

o Floppy Images for 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, 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 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.)


o Floppy Images for MS Windows: Use an imaging tool like “Raw Write for Windows.”
