Writing Partboot-usb disks

Uncompressing the tgz file

• To install Cygwin
• To use WinZip
• To use individual dos commands:

- Download gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2-i386.exe from: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/

- At the DOS prompt, invoke:

> gzip-1.2.4-i386 -d partboot-1.6.21-usb.tgz > tar-1.11.2-i386 xvf partboot-1.6.21-usb.tar

Now You'll retrieve all files.

Writing disks

- Download rawrite.exe from: http://www.tux.org/pub/dos/rawrite/

- Move partboot-1.6.21-usb.img and rawrite.exe in C:

- Rename partboot-1.6.21-usb.img as partboot.img, because rawrite does not recognize long file names.

- At the DOS prompt, invoke:

> rawrite

Rawrite first asks you for the filename of a disk image; enter the filename with its full path:

Enter disk image source file name:C:\partboot.img

Then rawrite asks for a disk drive to write the image to:

Enter target diskette drive:A:

Finally, rawrite asks for confirmation that a writable disk is in the drive you have selected. After pressing [Enter] to confirm, rawrite copies the image file onto the disk.

Now change disks and write supp.img as well.
