Yes, Fred is right, I assumed from your question that you wanted the raw binary
data without the .imd sectoring info. To get the files back, you then need a
way to mount that binary image on your target machine or emulator so it can
read the file system. What is the target machine? What file
If you want raw data from an IMD file in some order other than the physical
ordering on the original media, my Python package that I linked to previously
may be helpful. It may also require some coding, but the supplied classes make
it pretty easy for somebody with Python familiarity to access

Yes, if you download the original imd, in the package there is a simple to use
command line utility to do just that. Writing from memory, IMD2BIN.EXE or
something like that.

"Data"??!?
Well, you already have the DATA, every last bit.
Maybe what you want is the INFORMATION, in the form of the FILES.
All too often, people will use "data" to describe the contents, which
could be

I've been developing Python code for dealing with .IMD files off and on. It's
not complete by any stretch of imagination, but if you're comfortable with
Python then you might be able to use it to do what you want:
