My version of Disk Manager seems to damage files and images itself on the system I'm using.
What do you guys use to make disk images?

I use DskExplorer and Disk Manager. Haven't really had a problem with any of them. |

DCOPY in a Dos windows under XP !!!
Fast & perfect !!
Usage (with a MSX disk in the PC disk drive)
C:\dcopy a: c:msx.dsk /t:80 /s:9 /h:2
for a 360ko disk, type:
C:\dcopy a: c:msx.dsk /t:80 /s:9 /h:1
And to make a MSX disk with an image dsk: (the dsk file must be at the C: root)
C:\dcopy C:MSX.dsk A:

Thanks for the advice!
...Same problem with DskExplorer. 
Must be due to this system then.
Can I also add loose files to an existing disk image under DOS? |

...Could there be some kind of Windows-setting which damages loose msx-files when extracted from/to an existing .dsk file?

In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MISC\DAMAGE_LOOSE_MSX_FILES_WHEN_EXTRACTED_FROM_AN_EXISTING_DSK_FILE you can turn this back off.

@manuel: Hahaha, are you sure it's not "TORPEDE_ANYTHING_WHICH_DOES_NOT_GENERATE_PAY_FOR_MICROSOFT"?

Or maybe you should just try:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\WindowsFeatures]
"Destroy standard files"=dword:00000000

Yes if you want to create blank msx diskimages or transfer dsk to floppy / floppy to dsk.
But could you please tell me how can you manage dsk images in Linux? I would like to operate with diskimages the way I use to do with DSKManager. That is: adding or removing files to a DSK image. I haven't found an easy way to do this in Debian.
Maybe that could be a nice-addon to the OpenMSX o BlueMSX projects. |

I practically know nothing about Linux, but I suggest you to check "mount"-command man-pages. I've heard something about loop back mounting. Am I totally lost?

Yeah, in Linux you can mount a disk image by using the "-o loop" switch on the mount command. Additionally, it is easy to convert a physical diskette to a disk image and vice versa with the dd command. Linux rocks! |

About dd, if I remember correctly, to convert a diskette to a disk image file you do:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=filename.dsk
and for the reverse process, exchange if and of. ("if"="input file" and "of"="output file", I guess)

So, if I mount a MSX .dsk with -o loop option in ( for example) /mnt/msxfloppy, I should be able to list the contents, copy from the linux machine to the dsk image and viceversa?
That would be great!!! I've been looking for this for a loong time |
