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.
If you need to obtain rawrite, it is available on the Red Hat FTP site at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.0/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/
