try dcopy 1.0 I have transferred even 180kb images to a 1.44 floppy.
Check vogons or oldskool for download
Winimage has a dos extractor and injector for building images.
extract the image and then convert it to a 1.44 easypeasy!

Have you tried formatting your floppy as a 720K
DISKCOPY copies the entire disk as an image, very similar to how ISO images
work for copying CD's. That is, DISKCOPY does not just copy the files but
