I need a utility to make BIN out of bootable floppy.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a utility/program (preferably freeware) that can make BIN image of a bootable floppy?



Thank you,
Gabriel

Hi NooNoo,
If I am correct - It makes ISO and EXE images - not BIN.

Correct me If I am wrong,

So exactly what do you want to create?

[Gabriel]

Well...
I saw a Multibootable CDROM - one you can boot into lots of different Floppies.
It is operated Using Linux miniboot - you can create IOmages of floppy (BIN so LInux can read them) and boot from them.
Just Imagine this - you can creat Boot floppy with Network support, with CDROM support, With Partition Magic Etc Etc. Etc.

If my memory not betraying me - in Linux I have DD command to make RAW copies of Floppy into BIN files.

Therefore I need this Utility,
Thank you,
Gabriel Levi

dd is for *nix, RAWRITE should be able to do this under DOS/Windows. It handles image files in the form of .IMG by default, but can specify what filename and extension you want using command line parameters under DOS.

Its typically included as part of a Linux distro. Like here

Download rawrite for windows and extract its contents to a folder. Double-click on the rawwritewin.exe file. Select floppy drive A: as appropriate.

Click on the 'Write' tab and enter C:\FOLDER\FILE.BIN (replace with actual details of image file's location) in the 'Image File' field. Place the floppy disk you want to use in the drive then click 'Write'.
