Dont work for mine. converted to FAT from FAT32 then directed MakeBootable to my drive letter (which was in the list of options) and it gives me an error everytime. (Failed… Could not find device specified) or something. Too bad, could have really used this.

Don’t work on my pen drive.
The following work for me:-
use rawrtie 2.0 (look for it in the net) to create an image file of your bootable floppy disk.
use dd-0.5 ((look for it in the net) to write the image to your pen drive.
command was :-
dd -if=wstartup.img -of=\\.\K:
where wstartup.img is the image file of the bootable floppy
K: is the dirve for the pendrive
