    Ok thanks. From this I assume that on the first link I do not need to go past 16 and all that is needed
    is an autorun.inf plus the exe.

    The other guy mentioned after ASSIGN
    BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:

    Is this not needed.

    Thanks Desmond.

I am surprised I didnt see this as a sticky. I have some apps (diagnostic) utilities that only run on floppy or via CD ROM. I would like to "copy" or create a bootable USB stick and run them. How can I accomplish making a bootable USB thumb drive that will allow me to emulate a floppy?
