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 GUIs may want to use Winrawrite instead.
