rawritent.exe ?
Hi, does anyone know why rawritent.exe
http://search.mirrorservice.org/search/?q=rawrite will only accept removable media ? Is there anything that would break this algorithm for fixed disks? |

This program had been designed for the floppies only. I don't know what is your specific problem -- so can't give the concrete answer, but the programs for the fixed disks with the similar (not exactly same though) functions are the cloning programs, like Norton (Symantec) Ghost, Partition Magic, Acronis True Image, etc. Some of the hexadecimal editors can be used in some cases as well. -- Mikhail Zhilin MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.

Because that's the way it was written. It only handles certain types of disk
structures, and it has no concept of USB--its hard-coded to look for specific hardware types. In a word, it's very, very obsolete. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User Armando wrote in message ...
