Rawrite32 · The NetBSD disk image writing tool

 

Rawrite32 is a tool to prepare disks or other removeable media from files called file system images. These images are usualy prepared with a NetBSD already setup and are utilized in various ways (depending on the port of NetBSD) to bootstrap a new installation.

You can download the file system images via the internet and move the contents onto appropriate media for your machine using this utility program.

Rawrite32 runs on any kind of Win32 system (i.e. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP).

You may use Rawrite32 for free, see the license for details.

The documentation is included with the program, but you may preview it online.

Finaly, if you would like to get the program, just download it here.
