Wink How to Convert any Boot Floppy to Boot CD


I've created a boot floppy of Memtest86. I decided to create a Boot CD of Memtest86 since floppy medium is quite unreliable.

I've tried to create a Floppy image using UltraISO, but in vain.

Then I tried to create a Boot CD with the help of Nero with Floppy as the source, it also didn't work out !!!

Then I tried to extract the bootsector of the floppy using MKBT. But that attempt also didn't work out.

So is there any way to convert that Boot Floppy to Boot CD ?

Thanks in advance.

This is what used to do.

1.Make a Floopy Image using WinImage
2. Use Nero Burning ROM and give the path to Image File while making Boot CD

Used http://www.bootdisk.com/plan10/firm331.zip to create an image of a floppy and used the Boot CD option of Nero using that image.
