Talk:IMG (file format)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is completely wrong. The .img format is a Macintosh disk image format. The thing you want to describe in this article is just a raw dump, possible with any unix block device. It's mostly created with the command dd (Unix). Yes, .img (not .IMG ... Unix is case sensitive, UPPERCASE is only used on DOS, not even on Windows) is the most common file extension, but also .dd is, or maybe it's something like .144 or .hd dependent on the disk. But it's not a file format ... just a raw copy of the filesystem, without any format.

[edit] DiskDupe

DiskDupe uses extension .ddi, not .img.--218.102.95.31 (talk) 18:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
