Hi, Based on Eric's comments and with Jack's help, I was able to get rawrite3 to work under freedos by a) loading lowdma.sys in fdconfig.sys early durting boot b) LH rawrite3.
Unfortunately that does not work with hard drive manufacturer's tools, they complain at LH about lack of RAM. Since they are executables around 1.44 MB I suspect they are just too big for LH to work with them.
