RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.
RaWrite attempts to determine if the diskette is a 1.44M, 1.2M, 720K, or 360K diskette by reading sectors 18, 15, and 9 in that order.

 ZigZag: Making the Boot Floppy
Rawrite is a program that allows a boot floppy to be made.
Rawrite, on the other hand, is a disk utility which copies a preset, pre-divided file onto each disk sector exactly, with no file system or naming (unless they're already there), and therefore will copy boot sectors and other information in precisely the pattern necessarily to boot the computer.
What you will be doing is starting Rawrite (which opens in an MS-DOS window), and then telling it to copy "zzdisk" onto a blank floppy in a: drive.

Rawrite was written by someone else, and I don't know much about it.
I'm using rawrite to make the bootable floppy, but there are no files on the floppy when it finishes.
The question related to not getting files on the floppy is caused by the fact that rawrite needs the -f switch before the clave03.img file on the command line to recognize the image file.

rawrite 1.2 was horribly slow on the computers I tried it on.
The main loop was writing only three sectors to the disk during each iteration.
If it doesn't work, try Mark's rawrite version 1.2 to see if it will work for you, and maybe drop me an email describing the problem you encountered and the type of system you were using.

I want to be able to boot from the hard drive so simply rawrite'ing the.img to floppy and copying to the hard drive doesnt look like an option.
The rawrite program asks for a source and destination drive, doesnt it?Couldnt you create a small partition on the hdd,big enough to hold the contents of a floppy,and point rawrite there?I dont know if it'll work but it might.Please feel free to shoot this idea full of holes,unless there are enough of them there already.

 Rawrite and related programs
A disk image is a file which contains the full contents of the specified disk in a single file; the contents are generally read as raw sectors so all data including partition information (FAT), boot sector, along with actual directory entries and files are copied to the image.
rawrite (rawrite.c) is just here for completeness, as it may be needed for someone.
Also have a look at http://sac-ftp.externet.hu/ in the utildisk section as there seems to be several disk image related utilities (especially in the 'D's), not sure about their license info.

Once you have written the image to floppy you no longer need RAWRITE (or similar) unless you intend to write other floppy images to diskette.
To create the boot floppy for the Mini or Full distribution: (1) Run RAWRITE (2) Read the FDB8_144.DSK image file (3) Write to the A: drive If you are using UNIX, you may instead use the "dd" program to write the disk images.
