I have a bootable floppy disk which I am trying to use to make a bootable DVD with a couple of ghost images for my laptop. I have the ghost images, the ghost.exe and a bootable floppy, but K3B won't use the files from the floppy, it wants a .img file.

I made a .img file from the floppy using the dd command, but K3B complained it was the wrong size. I found a forum guide telling me that
Code:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=boot.img bs=1k count=2880
# mkfs -t msdos 288boot.img
would make a .img file that K3B will use, but I can't figure out how to get the files from the floppy into the img file.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please? I truly hope I don't have to boot into Windows for this, there must be a Linux solution.

Any help much appreciated.
