StarWind V2V Converter vs WinImage opinions
No support for Floppy-Disks
DiskExplorer is a tool with a graphical user interface that supports working with floppy disk (and some hard drive) images of various layouts and formats. Originally a Japanese-only application, an English version has been made available since 2001.
Discontinued
The DiskExplorer never updated since 2010. See http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013937/editdisk/index_e.html
WinFLASHTool is an open-source tool that allows writing raw disk images to FLASH memory cards. The tool supports multi-partition images and cards correctly and allows previewing erased partitions before overwriting a card.
ImageDisk performs direct hardware access to the floppy disk controller chip, and therefore cannot run under operating systems which do not permit application programs such access. These include Windows NT, 2000 and XP. I strongly recommend running the program under pure DOS.
VGA-Copy was created by the German software developer Thomas Mönkemeier. The first public version of VGA-Copy was the version 2.0. Later versions were published under the names VGA-Copy Pro and VGA-Copy/386. Some earlier versions were published by cdv Software Entertainment.
2Tware Convert VHD is a simple application that help users easily convert virtual hard drive images from VMWare's VMDK format into the Microsoft's VHD format. This is a sector by sector copy operation from one format to the other and the source file remains unaltered.
