Bootable Pen Drive

I use Barts boot disk (www.nu2.nu) to network boot and ghost drive images. My company has just bought 100's of new machine with no floppy drives or cd-roms. I can boot from a usb floppy but the bios doesnt support booting from usb cd-roms.

Does anyone know how to take a bootable floppy disk and make a pen drive bootable with an image of the floppy, or just to make a pen drive bootable with network drivers.

Any help in the right direction would SO MUCH be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

My jump drive that came from Apacer came with software to make a bootable image on it. The only way i can think of to do it would be to somehow make your OS think it is A: then use rawwritewin to send a .img file to it.

Have you considered setting up a Bootp server, and doing a network boot to run ghost from a network share?

This is what I have done at the company I am working for, and it works very well!
