| 19:40.00 | josephscott | haha |
| 19:40.29 | jsmith | mindjuju: At your service! |
| 19:40.30 | mindjuju | i have an img file of a disk. i didn't create the img file, and when I ask fdisk about it, it says there are 3 partitions. |
| 19:40.50 | mindjuju | now, fromwhat i can see one partition is w95, the others i don't recall |
| 19:41.20 | mindjuju | I'd like to be able to access the contents of the img, preferable in a state that i can bring everything back to life |
| 19:41.32 | mindjuju | i'm looking into dd the img to burn to a hdd of similar size |
| 19:41.43 | mindjuju | that way, i should be able to just boot off the drive if it works |
| 19:41.46 | mindjuju | thoughts? |
| 19:42.56 | josephscott | windows 95, now we are going back a few years :-) |
| 19:42.56 | mindjuju | ok, 1 partition is w95, 2 are unkn and the last is fat1 |
| 19:42.57 | jsmith | Yes, if when the .img file was created, it contained the master boot record, then you should be able to boot off of it |
| 19:43.16 | mindjuju | jsmith, that's exactly what I was hoping :) |
| 19:43.36 | jsmith | Now, granted -- Windows 95 probably won't really boot (outside of safe mode?!?) because of different hardware |
| 19:43.41 | josephscott | make a backup of the image first, just in case |
| 19:43.48 | jsmith | Obviously :-) |
| 19:44.02 | mindjuju | yup, i was just wondering about win 95 on much newer hardware, what would happen |
| 19:44.11 | josephscott | it would be ugly |
| 19:44.16 | josephscott | drivers for nothing |
| 19:44.43 | josephscott | I wonder if a VM might be able to emulate older hardware that would work there |
| 19:45.07 | mindjuju | here is the info on the img |
| 19:45.09 | mindjuju | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Y2QnIASk/image.png |
| 19:45.59 | mindjuju | i wondered about a VM, but i thought i'd prolly need to extract out the partitions and then convert them to vmdk or whatever |
| 19:46.13 | fungus | mindjuju, fdisk uses the moniker W95 to indicate an extended FAT32 filesystem. It doesn't mean it's actually Window 95 |
| 19:46.33 | mindjuju | oh that's good to know! |
| 19:47.20 | mindjuju | i didn't think it'd be win95, but fdisk seemed to think so. but if what you're saying is right, then it could be a *nix, just with a fat32 drive |
| 19:48.36 | fungus | Through the use of losetup, you can mount the image directly without writing it to a physical disk. |
| 19:51.41 | mindjuju | well, so here is my idea. I'm shooting to bring the sllug hdds back to life in a way that the site comes back up. Since it's in phpnuke (some version that is super old and mega vulenerable), i was going to open it up here internal, scrap it with wget and bring it out to the internet in static HTML for historical purposes |
| 19:51.44 | DexterTheDragon | can't you just do `mount -o loop,ro,offset=338137092 sllug-boot-floppy.img /mnt/here` to mount the first partition? |
| 19:52.36 | mindjuju | oops, scrape, not scrap |
| 19:52.39 | fungus | yup |
| 19:54.25 | fungus | or: losetup -Pf sllug-boot-floppy.img; mount -o ro /dev/loop0p1 /mnt/here |
