Does anyone know how to copy a floppy image to a floppy, boot sector and everything. I know I've done it before but I forgot how. I think there is a util in Dos?

You need to run the DOS utility rawrite.exe. You can also do it through Linux with the dd command. You can get more info on this by reading the NHFs on OS Booting.

It's a DOS utility called rawrite or rawrite2.
It's included on most linux distros.

From your console as root, type:

dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

when floppy.img is the image file.
