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.
