How to write image of a floppy disk to a flash drive?

Question

I have created an image of a floppy disk by executing:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/myFloppy.img

My floppy disk is no more working now. So I am thinking now if it's possible to write the image of that floppy to a flash drive and then I may boot my machine from the flash drive.

My machine's BIOS has the option of 'Boot from USB'.

Solution 1

Method 5 of the website mentioned by Darren seemed to be a solution to my problem but it did not work for me.

After a little browsing the method shown in "Creating a bootable USB thumb drive - Page 2 " did the magic for me.

Solution 2

UNetbootin can do that very easily.

Just run it and there should be a box that defaults to "ISO", choose "Floppy" from the drop-down menu and then browse to your image. It does it in an instant.

An answer that no longer works because the link is dead and there's no real information in the answer.
