About BeWrite:
The world-infamous installer for notebooks (beta status)
You can read the whole documentation at
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA001240/archive/BEWRT_EN.TXT
N.B. if you have an external ATAPI CD-ROM drive, try ATA PC Card Driver.
(see "Others by this publisher" in this page)
OVERVIEW
BeWrite installs BeOS in a "primitive" method onto a machine
which cannot install BeOS in the normal method.
It copies the BFS track (Track 2) in the BeOS installation CD-ROM as-is
to a BFS partition in the hard disk under DOS/Windows. Suitable for
installation on notebook PCs without a built-in CD-ROM drive.
WARNINGS
BeWrite is extremely dangerous due to its principle.
When it writes to the partition, it performs
low-level burst write to the hard disk using BIOS and might destroy
the contents of your hard disk if it malfunctions or you mistake
operations. It is strongly recommended to use a blank hard disk, or
back up your data before running.
Although BeWrite has a good reputation and no fatal problems have
been reported until release 1.00, the author makes no guarantee and
has no responsibility about the result of operating BeWrite.
Use at your own risk.

Details about this version:
CD image file supported. An external CD-ROM drive for your notebook is no longer necessary (but still desirable, though).
Release 2.00 allows you not only to copy directly from the CD to
the partition, but also to create an image file from the CD or
installed BeOS and copy it to the partition.
Thus, even if your notebook PC has no external CD-ROM drive,
you can install BeOS into it by making an image file on another PC
with a CD-ROM drive (a desktop PC), transferring it to the notebook PC
and copying it to the BFS partition.
Also now you can operate from a menu, that is, you can run BeWrite
from Windows Explorer as well as from MS-DOS prompt command line.
BeWrite is now distributed in LHA self-extract archive.
