Virtual Floppy Drive (Solved)

I have a floppy drive on my PC but now since we are reconstructing the whole house, I can only be using my Laptop. My Laptop doesn't have a floppy drive but I downloaded VFD and now I have two virtual floppy drives.

The problem is that VFD works with image files and I do not know how I am supposed to create an image of my bootloader and the kernel file! Can anybody help me? I am compiling both files with NASM.

Okay I figured it out. I had to create a file with VFD that allows the image to be saved on a disk storage. The file will then be treated as the real content of the floppy driver. I then could do what ever I used to be able to do with the real floppy driver, with the new driver too; Including using PartCoppy and etc.
