Is there any command-line tool on Windows that can create a FAT32 disk image (similar to Linux using dd and mkfs.vfat, then mount the disk image for modifying?

Do you mean creating a file that is structured as though it were a volume, like a virtual disk, as contrasted with actually formatting a partition or removable media?– Jeff ZeitlinMar 26, 2018 at 14:10

1If you are OK with a VHD image (which is a Microsoft specific format) the answer Jeff Zeitlin linked to answers your question. If you need a RAW image you can mount the VHD and then do a regular DD copy of the mounted disk to a RAW file. There are Windows versions of DD available, Cygwin exists and recent versions of Windows 10 have the Linux subsystem available which also includes DD.– TonnyMar 26, 2018 at 14:30

It might be noteworthy that a fixed-size VHD image is virtually RAW, except for a small header at the end.– Daniel BMar 26, 2018 at 14:41
