How can I mount a floppy image file using cygwin. I would like to mount the image, copy a file to the mounted drive, and then unmount it from the command line.
I know you can use Virtual Floppy Drive in windows, but is there a way to do this in Cygwin?
Can't you just use Virtual Floppy Drive? Cygwin doesn't really do filesystems; it lets Windows take care of that.
If you look on line (google) there doens't seem to be support in Cygwin for that kind of functionality. An alternative, though more effort, would be to use something like VirtualBox, or the free version of VMWare and run a light-weight Linux distro, where you could use the loopback mounting feature and expose it via samba as a windows-share.
@cjm I probably will just use VFD then, I was (am) hoping for a possible integration of VFD or something else into cygwin, the best would be losetup loopback capabilities.
@Kyle Burton Thank you for the insight, that is actually what I'm currently using. I'm trying to convert my dev setup to compile, and load my kernel onto a floppy using cygwin, so I get better editing performance.
