Debug: W (Write)
Writes a file or specific sectors to disk.
To write the contents of the number of bytes specified in the BX:CX registers
to a disk file, use the following syntax:
w [address]
To bypass the Windows NT file system and directly write to specific sectors,
use the following syntax:
w address drive start number
Parameters
address
Specifies the beginning memory address of the file, or portion of the file,
you want to write to a disk file. If you do not specify address, Debug starts from CS:100. For information about valid values for the address parameter, see the debug command.

Specifies the drive that contains the destination disk. This value is numeric:
0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, and so on.

write.
number
