The program 'Winimage' which is easily located online allows you to
create floppy diskette images.  If you save them as uncompressed,
they're the same as images you'd create using a Unix-like OS (i.e.
NetBSD or Linux) using the dd command, and you can use 'rawrite' to
write them (a free open-source program many free-Unix-like OSes make use
of.

Winimage also will open ISO images to 'browse' them as if they are
actual cds. (the point of this reply, the first paragraph is just
advertising)
