-Under MS-DOS, you can use the rawrite utility __to write an image file (*.img) to a diskette__.  
-  
-If you have Linux installed, you can use the [dd(1)] command.  
-  
-!!Download  
-  
-If you need to obtain rawrite, it is available on the Red Hat FTP site at:  
-  
-ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7./i386/en/dosutils/  
-  
-  
-The Red Hat FTP site is usually very busy, so you may want to try a mirror site. The list of mirror sites is available at the following URL:

-http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html.

-The rawrite command looks like the following (assuming you have copied rawrite to the dosutils folder on your C: drive):  
-  
-C:\> dosutils> rawrite  
-  
-  
- Rawrite first asks you for the filename of a disk image; enter the directory and name of the image you wish to write.  
-  
-Enter disk image source file name:D:\images\<image file>  
-  
-  
-Then rawrite asks for a disk drive to write the image to:  
-  
-Enter target diskette drive:a:  
-  
-  
-Finally, rawrite asks for confirmation that a formatted disk is in the drive you have selected. After pressing [Enter ] to confirm, rawrite copies the image file onto the disk.  
-  
-Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press  
- --ENTER-- : [Enter]  
-C:\ dosutils>  
-  
-  
-The rawrite utility will return a message indicating whether your disk was created successfully, or it will inform you if your image failed to transfer correctly.  
-  
-Make sure that you label the disk according to its contents.  
-  
-You can use winrawrite that uses a Graphical environment instead of text . You can download it from : http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/
