Dd is a Linux utility that comes with all unix/Linux systems built in.   
RawWrite would be one equivalent for Windows users. On Mac,I think you have dd 
as well.

Davide,
dd is a utility program that allows you to dump raw file systems or partitions 
to image files and back. It is a standard program that comes with all Unix and 
Linux systems. 
It is available as near function-equivalent implementations on Windows systems 
as well:

Is one example I have used successfully in the past.

Of course I misunderstood and I thought Wolfgang was referring to a floppy
disk transfer. Can you please provide the link for the download of this "DD"
utility?

Thanks

Why should dd be a nightmare? Are you aware that dd means a utility program,
not floppies?

If you have a PC with IDE port anyway, then where is the problem to use dd
to get the image?

Why should dd be a nightmare? Are you aware that dd means a utility
program, not floppies?
