How do I burn .img files onto floppy disk?
I want to "burn" 3 DOS 6.22 floppy disks. I have 3 .img files but I can't "burn" these .img files onto a floppy. I get the message that the file is too big for the target.
What tool can I use (I used one in the past but I don't remember which one...) to "burn" .img file to the floppy disk?
Solution 1:
For floppy disks, It isn't free but I would highly recommend Winimage, I recently used this when messing around with PXE disk images and it works very well for this sort of thing.
Solution 2:
And just for completion - dd
, the usual Linux way. (You didn't mention your OS.)
dd if=disk1.img of=/dev/fd0
On Windows:
dd if=disk1.img of=\\?\Device\Floppy0
Solution 3:
You're probably remembering rawrite.exe
; it used to be included with early Linux distributions like Slackware for creating a bootable LILO floppy. Find it here. (Author's site, may be down.)
Solution 4:
I used to use RawWrite for Windows. Works quite nicely and it's free.
