Install floppy image to flash drive?

[cronos]

Hopefully this is the right place to ask. Let me know.

Is there a way to install a floppy image (flp file) to a Compact Flash drive? I am using the IDE converter for the CF. I tried to use rawrite for windows but it can only write to a floppy, and the converted flash drive is recognized as an IDE drive.

We are going to be using this flash drive as an alternative for our floppy-based firewall on our office network. It's basically an old machine that sits right off of our T-1 connection before going to the main switch. The firewall is configured through a Windows-based application, which generated the flp image.

Thanks,

EJ

I don't know how to help except to suggest two things. Have you tried to unhide the files on a floppy and copy it to the USB flash drive or a friend bought a totally generic USB drive that came with a utility to make it bootable. Then of course your BIOS has to let you boot from it. Good luck...
