how to extract .img file created with cat

[deathmood]

how can i extract .img file created with cat on windows (such programs as magiciso does not work). i am asking about it because i want to extract floppy.img from the http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/index.html to see how he configured grub for the tutorial

I'm assuming what you want is to mount and access the filesystem contained within a floppy image file in Windows. A quick search of the wiki turned up this: http://wiki.osdev.org/Windows_Tools#diskpart

But I don't know anything about it since I don't use windows, so thats all I've got.

i do not understand how can that help me (i also ca not run vfd on my x64 system - i tried)
then what about linux? how can i do such operation there?

The FAQ has a link to Disk Images. You might want to read that. There's more than one way to do things.

No way to do that if you don't know the indications of included files because they are simply continuously concatenated files.

kernel /kernel

Extracted using Notepad. I assume its right.

Also, you cant run imaging software on a file that's not an actual disk image (referring to your usage of Windows cat command here).
