Question: What exactly is an image file? Where can I find its definition? I’m not sure whether it’s appropriate to ask here. But after thinking about it, I decided to post it here anyway. Hope the moderator will forgive me!

I’d like to know too. Is it a kind of file made by using a tool to copy and compress the original file?

I’d also really like to know what image files are all about, and also how FDISK works. I wonder if some master here could teach me.

But after thinking about it, I decided to post it here anyway. Hope the moderator will forgive me! Basically there isn’t really any definition to speak of...... Take the standard ima-format floppy disk image for example: the ima format has bootsector, Root directory, FAT1, FAT2, etc., while in HD-COPY’s compressed img-format floppy disk image you can’t see them...... Why? Because it’s compressed.... only hd-copy can see it...
