you don't need a floopy drive
the cd itself will be bootable once you copy the image to a cd. all the
files are there including the bootable files, that is why it is called an
iso image, everything on the cd is in the image. All you need to do is burn
the iso to a cd and it will be fine. It will boot like it is suppose to and
have everything you need on the cd
