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. Sad

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.

Here's the version of DiskExplorer I use under WinXP. No problems making dsk images, importing or exporting files. Might help.

DiskExplorer v1.65E2

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

@rolins: Thanks man, I'll try this!

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.
