very specific problem

i want to get to DOS on my computer. strictly dos, and i have winXP. i also don't have a floppy disk drive, lol. and every place i have been to get the image file insists that insert a blank formatted floppy drive. i mean come on, are you serious? i have the ability to burn images, and i have the ability to boot from my cd-rom. all i need is an iso with the boot files on it. everything i search for involves some elaborate scheme that has to be absolutely unecessary. is it impossible to burn a freaking dos boot disk onto a cd??
