file conversion

Hi,
I am Using Ms-Sql 7.0 and there is a table having a column of IMAGE DATATYPE to store Binary Data.

Now ALL I WANT TO DO IS..

1) CONVERT ANY OF THE FILES THAT ARE EXISTING ON MY HARD DRIVE INTO BINARY FORMAT

2) INSERT THE SAME INTHE COLUMN OF THE TABLE

HOW DO I GO ABOUT DOING THIS..?

IF IT REQUIRES SCRIPTING PLEASE CAN ANY ONE PASS ON THAT SCRIPT TO ME..?

PLEASE HELP
