There is a really neat free Windows program called VFD

http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html

which I use all the time.  It allows you to mount a file
as a floppy disk and assign it a drive letter under Windows.
You can use diskcopy to/from a real floppy disk (if you have
one) or create multiple virtual drives.  The FreeDOS
sys command runs fine under WindowsXP and will
put a boot sector on one of these drives.

You can use the resulting image files to create bootable CD's
or mount them using VFD and use diskcopy to a real
floppy drive if you have one.  I don't really miss WinIMAGE.
