FAT32 Disk Image Extraction Tool

This tool provides a command-line interface (CLI) for extracting data from a disk image, included corrupted drives. It allows the extraction of files from the disk image, which can be particularly useful if you are unable to open the disk image with standard tools or if you need to extract specific files from an embedded FAT32 file system.

Implemented as per the original white paper Microsoft did for the FAT32 specification http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/1/161ba512-40e2-4cc9-843a-923143f3456c/fatgen103.doc
