Another DOS utility which I have used for dumping/writing floppy disk
images is here: http://www.msxarchive.nl/pub/msx/utils/othersys/dcopy.zip
It allows for specifying drive geometry, so in the case that you are
having trouble creating a dump because of a flaw in an unused area of the
media, perhaps you can create a partial dump (eg. 50 out of 80 tracks)
that still manages to capture all of the relevant data.

I can actually boot this machine from a bootable floppy, yet the
fdread utility runs to a certain percentage than stops with the
message:disk not formatted properly.'
That motivated use of VFD; I didn't realize VFD could edit an
existing .img; the how-to documentation for VFD is almost non-existant.
I'll try Bernds suggestion.TNX.
Under Windows, WinImage is a good one. Perhaps under DOS, FreeDOS's
DISKCOPY program would do the trick
(DISKCOPY A: C:\FLOPPY.IMG /O /G /X )
Not sure what the fdread program is, maybe was created before DISKCOPY.
Some RAREAD/RAWREAD program is also an option if it exists as
counterpart for RAWRITE.
