I came to know about this website from a question on Askubuntu but I still cant open .dsk files with it. My file which contains the data of my OS is named as root.dsk.

But i cant open it with explore2fs-1.07.

Can anyone please help me out?

Use this http://ext2read.blogspot.com/ and point it at the root.disk (not .dsk)

Did you download this: ext2explore-2.2.71.zip (I just did and my antivirus doesn't complain about it). I got it from here: sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/… – bcbc Sep 10 '11 at 7:22

Information provided here, referring to the WinImage software may be useful for you.

This seems not to be related to Ubuntu but if you are trying to do that in Ubuntu you may wish to give it a try under Wine, which may fail if not find all the requirements for that software fully satisfied.

Additional information on .DSK Files can be found here: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/dsk Which seems to be more related to Mac and MS Based systems.

A list of software that is able to open .DSK Files can be found here: http://extension.nirsoft.net/dsk

Good luck!
