located. The

Creating the ITU Diskette on a DOS or Windows System

To create the ITU diskette on a DOS or Windows system, you must use
a utility that will copy the raw diskette image onto a 1.44 Mbyte floppy
diskette. The easiest way to do this is to use

fdimage.exe

, a public

domain utility written by Robert Nordier that is included in the zip file with
the Solaris x86 driver.

The usage information and command syntax for fdimage is as follows.
(This text appears on the screen when you enter the command name at
the DOS prompt.)

Usage:

fdimage [-dqsv] [-f size] [-r count] file drive

-d

: Debug mode

-f size

: Specify the capacity of the floppy disk; the choices are

160K, 180K, 320K, 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, 2.88M

-q

: Quick mode: don’t format the disk

-r count

: Retry count for format/write operations

-s

: Single-sector I/O

-v

: Verbose mode

The following command syntax example assumes that a formatted,
1.44 Mbyte diskette is inserted in the

a:

floppy drive and that all the files

from the zip file are in the current working directory.

fdimage -qv itmpt-x86-XXX-itu.dd a:

This command works when running MS-DOS, Windows 9x, Windows
ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. If you are running
anti-virus software, it is recommended that you temporarily disable it
when running

fdimage

. Otherwise,

fdimage

may not be able to get

exclusive access to your floppy drive which it needs in order to write the
image to a diskette.

When the diskette is created, label it ITMPT Driver Diskette.
