Opening an image on a windows PC?

  • Hi Folks,


    Is there a program that will allow you to open an .img file on a windows PC?


    There is a program called NewTuxFlash that allows you to open a dbox2 .img file and you can extract files from it (but not add) but it doesn't work with dreambox images.


    I've tried a few 'unzip' programs but none seem to work.


    Any help is greatly appreciated.


    Thanks

  • Hi,
    install virtual box and then install a linux in this virtual PC and then mount should be possible.

  • I have virtual machine with ubuntu installed and I can do it this way but I was thinking about for people who are new to the dreambox or don't have much experience.


    pcd...multiboot is an option that I hadn't thought of...thanks. But this can't be done if you have a DM500.


    Thank you both for your answers.

    Why not? Of course you can use multiboot with dm500 also (check flashwizard).

  • I have a DM7000 and use multiboot with a usb drive. I know you can also use the hdd to multiboot but the Dm500 doesn't have a usb slot or hdd. How can this be done please? Do you use a mount to a PC for multiboot?


    Thanks
