exe file linux to windows

degraffenried13 · 04-09-2004, 05:50 AM

I am trying to help someone out with their computer and I need to write an exe file that I downloaded on my linux system to a floppy to take to their windows system. I am using ext3, and I wasn't sure if there is a way to write the file using fat32 or if that is even necessary to port it to windows.

thanks for the help

Depends what the floppy has been formatted too. If its formatted on the windows machine no problem. If you formatted it on the Linux machine, you'll have to check what the filesystem was.

Linux can read windows disk, but Windows can only read its own.

fdformat /dev/fd0
mkfs.vfat /dev/fd0
