Disk Image Manipulation

[pgerotica]

Anyone knows a tool to manipulate disk image files? Like adding,
removing files from the image, etc... I need to manipulate FAT12 and
FAT16 images

There's no single format for disk images. If the software you used to
make the images doesn't allow for file manipulation, your only
recourse is to restore the image, manipulate the files and resave the
image.

A disk image is just a stream of bits - it's not even operating system
dependent. Only the file format it's saved in is.

Yeah, i know that. I just need a software to change files without
restoring the image.

If they are just *.img files you can use a program called Filedisk for
this.

.... from the web site ...
FileDisk is a virtual disk driver for Windows NT/2000/XP that uses one or
more files to emulate physical disks. A console application is included
that let you dynamically mount and unmount files. An example of use for
this driver is if you have made plans spending the weekend writing an RAID
driver for NT but find you are short of disks. FileDisk can also use
CD-images.
Latest Works on Windows XP, FileDisk images can be stored on network
drives, support for CD-images, support for UNC paths, support for sparse
files.
