raw2hdf - Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
SYNOPSIS
raw2hdf rawfile hdffile
DESCRIPTION
raw2hdf converts a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk image in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
OPTIONS -v version
specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1 file.
Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.
rawfile
specifies a raw data file (or block device corresponding to an actual disk) to be converted.
hdffile
specifies the .hdf file to create.
NOTES
Since raw2hdf has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk from which the original image was taken (indeed, the input file need not origi-
nate from a real IDE disk at all), there is no guarantee that the information contained in the .hdf file header accurately represents the
original disk. However, it will attempt to construct a header that is consistent with the size of the image, to produce an .hdf file which
is functionally equivalent.
BUGS
None known.

createhdf - Create a blank IDE hard disk image in .hdf format
SYNOPSIS
createhdf [ -c ] [ -s ] cylinders heads sectors file
DESCRIPTION
createhdf creates a blank image of an IDE hard disk in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
OPTIONS -c specifies that the .hdf image should be created in `compact' mode, where only the low byte of every word is stored in the image.
This is useful for saving space if the hard disk image is for use with an interface which accesses only the low byte of every word.
-s specifies that the .hdf image should not be created as a sparse file. Normally, createhdf will attempt to create the hard disk image
as a `sparse file', where the operating system knows that the file consists mostly of zero bytes and fills those in without using
any space in the file. This option disables this. (There's nothing `magic' about this: if data is written to the file, it will take
up space just like any other data; it's only empty space which is synthesised by the operating system).
-v version
specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1 file.
Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.
cylinders
specifies the number of cylinders in the image.
heads specifies the number of heads in the image.
sectors
specifies the number of sectors in the image.
file specifies the file to which the image should be written.
BUGS
None known.

hi
I've a fresh installation of SCO 5.0.7 on the IDE hard disk.
For SCSI hard disk I can declare, for example blc disk driver using:
# mkdev hd 0 SCSI-0 0 blc 0but it works for IDE hard disk? (3 Replies)

Hi Guru's,
I'm trying to rebuild a very old HMC 7315-C02 the hard disk has gone so needs replacing. I've managed to find an old IDE hard disk lying around but its obvious that it's had windows running on it as the HMC install disks won't recognise the format. I'm trying to install HMC V6 R1.2... (3 Replies)
This may be a dumb question and the more I think about it the worst it seems!!
I have inherited some standalone systems where they are using the mksysb command to create a disk file image; this image is then backed up to Networker.
My dumb question is how would we go about restoring this... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying to clone the hard disk image of Solaris OS on one disk to another disk. After some googling I found that there is a command "dd" to achieve this.
However there is a condition to use the dd command, that the disk geometry of both the disks (source and target disks) should... (5 Replies)
