AIM fail to mount splited raw of .0000 etc, and did AIM touch .000 file? about arsenal-image-mounter HOT 2 CLOSED

1. Any particular reason why you use dd for this? It is possible to create a new file with a specified size using fsutil. For example, to create a 2 GB file:
   fsutil file createnew file.000 2147483648
   I would think this could save you some time when creating those files. Preferably in your case, use it in a loop in a batch file instead of creating one file and copying that to other files.

2. You are right, I did not think of the GUI here. The GUI requires an extension of .001 specifically to detect a multi-part raw image. The command line version aim_cli.exe can be used to mount .0001 etc files though.
   aim_cli /mount /filename=test.0001 /provider=multipartraw

And maybe I was not clear about it previously but yes, it will use a .000 if there is such a file. But in the GUI you would still need to point it to the .001 file to mount. It will automatically detect all files starting with .000 though.

3. Maybe I was not clear about this previously either, but it will use a strict ASCII value ordering of the files. That means that it sorts 0-9 first and then A-Z, so effectively 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
