    I want to take an ISO image of a floppy. Which software can do this? I have infrarecorder but this only works with CDs only. Please help.

    something like this :

    TeraByte Unlimited Knowledge Base

    If not when I googled I did find a mention of magic iso so may be worth while looking at that as you can download a trial version of that

    rawrite32 will make an IMG image of the floppy, which you can then write back to another disk as required...

    rawritewin

    Also VFD makes a virtual floppy drive to create and edit those IMG files...

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for your contributions. In the end I went with mac_shinobi's suggestion as this worked like a charm. I just needed it as a bootable CD for an IT teacher.
