I had this problem when I first bought MINIX and the way that I solved it
was to write a short Turbo Pascal programme that read the entire disk into
a DOS file using BIOS calls and a similar one to write it out. I then went
on to write a programme to explore the file system, this was a little
harder but a good way to learn the file system. I would happily send you
copies but unfortunately the code is in Australia and I am in Sweden.

Good luck
