There are two ways. First of all, make sure you understand what you should be 
doing putting an EXE file onto a floppy disk. If you want to use that 1.44M 
version, use a program like rawrite. If you want to put that EXE in the boot 
sector (512 bytes), assuming you have the correct format, you could use a 
utility like the one in my bootstrap tutorial. It takes an EXE file and 
strips it down to a raw binary and also has a utility to write it to the boot 
sector of a disk. You can download it with all the utilities and full source
