Make bios/pc think flash is floopy

228 100+
Hey,
I have an old laptop that have no cd rom or floopy. I lost external flooppy actually. now, ntldr is missing and i wanna fix that using flash (i have done that before). But the laptop cant boot from flash nor from USB cd-rom drive. Is there anyway to make bios or windows think that a USB FLASH IS floopy? How would u get around this problem?

You do not need Laptop to think that USB flash is a floppy, If you have option in bios to boot from USB.
if yes, make ur flash drive bootable. see below links for how to do this task.
