i'm attempting to create a bootable cd to update my video card BIOS. the update is designed to use a bootable floppy, but i have no floppy drive. i checked around the forums for some extra instructions and i think i may have them right but before i make a bootable cd that destroys my computer i'd appreciate it if someone could check my steps for me.

1) i created a .IMA from the floppy files and created a .ISO from that
2) selected the .ISO as the boot file and created a .BIF file
3) renamed the .BIF to a .IMA
4) burn the the renamed .BIF

i'd appreciate any help
thanks!

The steps should be:
1) Create a .IMA file from the floppy diskette by 'Bootable'->'Create Floppy Image'
2) Choose 'File'->'New'->'Bootable CD/DVD', specify the newly created .IMA as boot file
3) Save to an ISO
4) Press F7 to burn
