It would help largely if we knew what OS you are using to develop on. If you are running *nix, read up on dd. If it is Windows, God help you, either get cgywin and use that, or look into getting part copy. Worst comes to worst, the Windows debug command can do it for you, but I wouldn't recommend it as it isn't particularly efficient, and it requires 2 commands to make the image.

Actually, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that for the purpose of this post, it doesn't matter to the rest of the forum at all what OS the OP is developing on. This exact topic has been covered many times, and even has a couple of wiki articles about it.

So in light of that, I'm locking this thread and I suggest to the OP that you use the search feature in both the forum and the wiki. If you still have problems after that, a very detailed post with a specific question would be a much better than a post such as yours above, which requires us (the other forum members) to ask YOU all sorts of questions before we can help.

In short, search the forums, search the wiki, ask smart questions, and while you are at it, try reading the forum rules.
