Two reasons: 1) Because a standard system utility for disk imaging exists on Linux (or any other Unix-like, for that matter), which has been around since before Linux, or even DOS was around: dd 2) Because the interfaces that Windows and Unix provide to applications for raw disk access are different, so equivalent disk imaging programs will basically share no code, so few if any such programs on either system have had their developers bother to release a version for the other platform. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
