-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For floppies there's rawrite for windows. I haven't used that in a very long time, so don't remember if it let's you write to any disk, provided it has a drive letter, or if it just goes for the floppy drive. I also remember there's a port of dd for windows, though I don't remember how you get it, maybe it came with djgpp, maybe it's possible to get a stand-alone exe. What I do remember about it, is that it wasn't as useful as you'd expect. If you tried to write something to a:, or com1, it would throw an error at you. I suspect that's because it would need raw access to the destination, but I'm not sure how you'd give it that under windows. Sorry I can't help more than that.
