what does "mount your cd-rom" mean?
|
Linux does not automatically add data CD's or floppys to your file system so you can view, edit, or execute the files. To add the CD the command to do so is called mount. To unmount the file system the command is umount. So to write the floppy in linux, you would open a command shell like konsole. You woudl issue a mount command so you can access the data. The dd command will send the data of file boot.img to the floppy.

Where can I temporarily store the file to use Rawrite on it when back in Windows?

You could copy the boot.img file to your hard drive, any directory of your choice, but you don't need to in Windows. From a command window in Windows, run rawwrite2.exe. It will copy the image to the floppy, including the formatting.
The command will look something like this -
c:\utils\rawwrite2 d:\boot\boot.img a:\
The above example assumes you have rawwrite2.exe stored on your windows C drive in a directory called uitls. It also says your CDrom is drive D. I'm guessing boot.img is in a directroy called boot.
You need to adjust the command to fit your drive and directory set up.
