Method 1 - Make your flash drive bootable using Bart's mkbt util:

http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ Alt: mkbt20.zip
Put a bootable floppy disk in your A: drive or create one using Windows.Download mkbt20.zip and unpack to to new temp folder you create.Go to the temp folder.Extract the bootsector from the bootable floppy disk. eg Open a DOS Window and go to the directory where you extracted MKBT. Type:
mkbt -c a: bootsect.bin
The boot sectors from the bootable floppy disk have just been saved to a file in the temp folder you created.
Format the flash drive in FAT or FAT16.
Copy the bootsector to the flash drive. Open a DOS Window and go to the folder where you extracted MKBT. Type:
mkbt -x bootsect.bin Z:
"Z" represents the flash drive drive Letter. So if your flash drive has another drive letter, then change the "Z" accordingly.
Now you can [grin] "should" be able to copy the utils you need to the pen drive.
