Question the very beginning

Actually, I had my first problem before even BEGINNING using my FreeBSD.
The installation guide said I should run the rawrite tool and should do something like
A> rawrite
if i put the the file I want to image-copy and the rawrite.exe in the same directory somewhere. OK done that. Next it asks for the name of the source file but if I type it tells me "no such file or directory". What have I done wrong?
Please help!!

try typing the full path of the file you want to image

for example,
C:\file.img

Sorry for the insult but still no good. the boot-small.flp file is there but it replies the same no matter if I type full path or not. Any other idea or an easier way?
