I do not use Bochs/VMware, But you can make the image with this program called, "winimage" you can get it from here:

hi fedal,
You can use bximage (comes along with bochs) to create both floppy and harddisk images. As for vmware you can use the same image made from bximage.

Look for ImageFS (use google, or look at the wiki on this site). It can be used to create disk images with your bootsector and kernel file on the fly. You can include calls to ImageFS and BOchs in your makefile to test your OS with one command. ImageFS works fine on Linux and should compile with DJGPP, although I had some problems with the iostream.h library and replaced all stream code with stdio code.
