nathanallan Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've been saving disk images and forgot how to make disks out of them! Here is one attached, what program do I use to make it back into a disk? It's a 1040 ST language disk, nothing fancy, just a straight system disk. After you unzip it, it's 1040lang.st Nathan 1040LANG.ZIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Got it, but I still don't know what to do. Are these more disk images? What I'm asking for is a program to make disks from images. Thanks for the quick response but I'm still in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick response but I'm still in the dark. Disregard the last .zip file. Open this one and read the documentations: pc2st.zip It's not difficult. Good luck.

tjlazer Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) You need a program to write the .ST image to a disk. There are tools for a PC or ST. Which do you need? I use one called ST2DISK on the ST. Also there are some for the PC like MAKEDISK and STDISK that run on DOS. If the disk image is anything but a standard 720k disk you will need to boot into pure DOS to be able to write it. You cannot do it in Windows. (ie boot to a MS-DOS disk and run the program, you can store the .ST files on your HD if you want) PCTools.zip ST2DISK.zip Edited December 27, 2006 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijor Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Floppy Image could do the job if you are under XP. http://www.ppest.org/atari/floimgd.php Has anyone tried this under Win98SE? It won't work. For Win 9X use MakeDisk. But it works better if you boot in DOS mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppera Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Floppy Image could do the job if you are under XP. http://www.ppest.org/atari/floimgd.php Has anyone tried this under Win98SE? Does anyone read instructions for programs? Seriously, it would be good that it work under Win98, but MS changed too much in architecture, so it would require lot of work - actually writing somekind of low-level floppy driver. And Win98 users can use MAKEDISK - it will do the job is most cases. Instead it, I work currently on making of Linux version. It is more 'future-proof' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazer Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yes it does, has transfered everything I have thrown at it! Really saves time so you dont have to boot to DOS, transfer the files to a real ST to write back, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppera Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I asked before I downloaded it to save myself the time wasted trying to run something that I could not use. I thought that it is faster to read infos on homesite of program. No wait for reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
