 Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 11:35 am Post subject: how to mount floppy.img please[solved] |
 |
|
Dear all:
I'm trying to mount a dos floppy image *.img file and get the real files inside of it, by googling I found these:
| Code: | mount -o loop /home/dundas/soft/programming/microsoftC60/DISK1.IMG /mnt/floppy/
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: device or resource busy (I translated this sentence in English here,might not be accurate words)
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount -o loop -t vfat /home/dundas/soft/programming/microsoftC60/DISK1.IMG /mnt/floppy/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop2,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# dmesg | tail
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop1.
SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on loop1
FAT: invalid media value (0x01)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop1.
FAT: invalid media value (0x01)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop2.
FAT: invalid media value (0x01)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop2.
FAT: invalid media value (0x01)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop2. |
I also tried to mount it by using -t msdos, and other filesystems...
but still it doesn't work, any clues please?
thank you!

The correct line for a read DOS foppy image should be
mount -o loop -t msdos floppy.img /mnt/something
which you say you did.
Are you sure the image isn't damaged? How did you create/get to this image?

Hi nephros, thx for replying, yes I did try that again, but it returns me the same error messge I posted before, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0....blar blar....
I tried to use HD-copy under windows for that img file, and it can be extracted to a floppy without problem.

ok.
I downloaded that img from the net, so I'm not sure if it can/cannot be used in linux, but it's the MSDOS 6.22 setup disks.

Same here, i haven't windows nor floppy disk, i used to use these foppy images to burn bootable cds with floppy emulation.
maybe a corrupted download?
take a look here, perhaps it should be helpful
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-136726-highlight-bios+flash.html\
http://www.nenie.org/misc/flashbootcd.html
if it's a floppy image and you want to put it in a floppy disk try
| Code: | | dd if=/path/to/img of=/dev/floppy bs=10k count=144 |

Try to redownload these.
Most likely the image is corrupt.
You can check it too with "file image.img"
If it shows "data" the image is corrupt for sure.
(Note that if it shows "x86 boot sector" or similar, it might be still be corrupt)
BTW, depending on what you want DOS for, you might want to look at http://www.freedos.org/ which is a very feature-rich DOS clone. Free Software, too!

nephros:
file DISK1.IMG returns data, so ya, I doubt it's corrupted
I do heard of freedos, will look into it, sir.
revertex:
now I learned how to flash bios from linux.
I'm feeling really lucky being on gentoo forum, getting your sincere support, nephros and revertex, thank you both for giving me precise suggestions, happy new year!

precisely, New year 2006 from the Chinese traditional calendar is Jan, 29th.
so Jan 28th in China is like the silent night for X'mas
