What is a DSK file?

Files with the .dsk extension are most commonly associated with disk image files. These files normally contain a copy of the data that is on a diskette. The DSK file format preserves the disk info and are useful for archiving disks onto a computer hard drive.

The .dsk file extension is also used for Delphi desktop files, Desk files, Novell NetWare disk driver files, ZX Spectrum emulator files, Lotus Notes design elements files, SHARP MZ-series emulator files and Simple IDs database files.
