1. You can make Pen Drive Bootable but you cannot emulate it as Floopy AFAIK.
2. Download Ultimate Boot CD or Hiren Disk. Use thse Boot Disks and try to convert using Dos based Partition Managers :)

I think a certain Linux distro(can't remember which one), stored on a pen drive, can work similar to a bootable startup disk. Dunno if something similar can be done with any versions of Windows.
