I am wondering what the usership here feels are the best utilities to create disk images. I prefer the .DSK format, but am open to other formats.

It's simple, small, and effective.FIRM.COM is a simple to use DOS Floppy image reader/maker. It is compatible with files used by many other disk image reader/writers. It is capable of reading/writing disks of other systems, Unix, Linux, later Mac and some other disks. Image files can be written back to disks of a larger capacity than the original for at least FAT systems! Say a 1.2MB floppy is saved to an image file and the user wishes to restore to a 1.44MB, the image file would be written back correctly for at least DOS systems.
To read or write a floppy image FIRM requires three parameters, the drive to read or write the image to or from, the file to create or write back and and finally the operation to perform either read or write.

In my opinion ADTPro is THE BEST software for transferring disk images to/from the Apple II and Mac/PC. You can download the latest version of it from here: http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/
Thanks for the plug. I like it too, but I'm biased. ;-)
You really should be posting CP questions over on comp.sys.apple2. The author of CiderPress, Andy McFadden, is there from time to time. But he's not running Windows 7, so keep that in mind...... Especially now that I can't get CiderPress to work with my Windows 7 machines and there is no CiderPress support that I can find.

Sure, it says that. You might also note that there has only ever been one bug report opened, back in 2007, and it hasn't been touched. Your audience is much, much larger on c.s.a2.CiderPress page directs questions & bug reports to the SourceForge page so I assumed that was the route to go.
