When you open the program the first time, it will ask if it could associate the .img and .imz files with him. Choose yes if you want it to automatically open when you open an .img and .imz file.
Once this is done, the program start :
We will start with the most important part and making an image of a floppy (you should read the tutorial first before making all of your disks). First of all, put a diskette in the drive. After, choose the directory by pressing the browse button of the read floppy section. For this test, I will save it in the img disquettes repertory with the name test and I use the .img type. If you want, you can test the other types of files.
You can also write a little description, but this isn't really usefull (and it also cause compatibility issues, so don't use it). When you are ready, press the start button and the program will show you it's progress. When it will have finish, it will make a little sound (you can turn this option off if you want).
Voilà, it's finish for this part, you successfully created an image of a floppy.
Now I need to show you how to do the reverse, for writing a floppy from an image, press the browse button of the write floppy section and choose the file that you want to use.
After, put your floppy and press start. Press yes if you really want to use this disk and let the software go all by itself.
Now that I have shown you the basics of floppy image, we will go in to the options menu.
Go in the edit tab and press settings, you should have a menu like the one below.
You have to floppy drive ? To use you b: drive click on the option Use b: floppy drive;
You want to read a disk with bad sectors ? Click Emergency read, take note that if you want to use a 360k floppy, use that options too;
You want to never be prompted by the program again ? Click Suppress all confirmation;
You want to hear when the program has finish ? click on Play sound.
You want to use *.ima files whereas the program doesn't support them ? I know a trick to make that possible in a few steps (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 with Active Desktop):
You can actually change the extensions of your files. Open a directory, go to the View menu and click on "Folder Options..."
Then, go to the View Tab and uncheck "Hide file extensions for known files types", click on Apply and OK :
Finally, rename your *.ima file by changing its extension (*.img instead).
