RaWrite is an [MS-DOS] utility similar to dd(1) which allows writing a disk image file to a diskette.

It interactively asks for the path to a disk image and for a disk drive to write the image to. Assuming the RaWrite binary is located in the __C:\dosutils\__ directory, a typical session might look like this:

 C:\dosutils> __rawrite__
 Enter disk image source file name: __D:\images\scsinet.img__
 Enter target diskette drive: __a:__
 Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press
 --ENTER-- :

In this example, once you pressed enter, you'd get the file __D:\images\scsinet.img__ written to the floppy in A:. You will then get a message indicating whether your disk was created successfully.

Those who prefer [GUI]s may want to use [Winrawrite | http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/] instead.
