hi,

 

would it be possible to hide a file, delete a file and put some other types of files in a floppy, then make an image of it and let someone to extract those files using any tool......also can anyone tell me how to make an image using linux(suse) commands...

If you have a physical floppy disk, you can make an image of it using the dd tool. Anyone else using Linux can write your image back to a floppy.

 

Code:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/username/myfloppyimage

 

To write the image back to floppy:

 

Code:

dd if=/home/username/myfloppyimage of=/dev/fd0

 

You could do a similar thing if you want to make a .iso CD image from a folder full of files, not sure if this is related to what you want to do but I'll say it anyway:

 

Code:

cd isofolder (folder full of files)
mkisofs -o myiso.iso

 

myiso.iso will be in this folder and ready to use.
