Create a Floppy Image

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 downloadable in

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/).

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.
