  *[[http://nfggames.com/x68000/Misc/Floppy/FloppyMastering.Lzh|Floppy Mastering Software]]

  - Copy disk images in XDF format to the directory where you unpacked the archive
  - Insert 2HD floppy disk in drive 0 and execute !Format.bat
  - Rename the file which you want to transfer to DISK.2HD (press "R" key in LHES to rename)
  - Reinsert the floppy disk and execute !Write.bat

**Note:** You can use drive 1 to restore the image files. Just change the .bat files to the following:

!Format.bat
<file>
9SCDRV.X
9SCFMT.X /N1
</file>

!Write.bat
<file>
9SCDRV.X
DPACK.X -u1 DISK.2HD
</file>

**9SCFMT** allows you to use the following formats as well:

  *0 - 2HS      (9sec/trk 1440k)
  *1 - 2HD      (8sec/trk 1232k) Standard X68000 format
  *2 - 2HDE     (9sec/trk 1440k)
  *3 - 2HC      (15sec/trk 1200k)
  *4 - 2HT       (1599k)
  *5 - 2DD/9    (9sec/trk 720k)
  *6 - 2DD/8    (8sec/trk 640k)
  *B - 2HQ       (18sec/trk 1440k) IBM 1.44MB 2HD format
  *Z - 2HDE98  (FDISK.SYS v0.98 compatible)

**DPACK** determines image file format by the following file extensions:

.2HD .HDM .2HE .2HDE .2HC .HD5 .2HQ .HD4 .2HS .2HT .2DD .2DD8 .DD8 .DD6 .2DD9 .DD9 .2DD10 .DDA .2D .2D8 .2D9
