I have created an image of a floppy disk by executing:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/myFloppy.img
My floppy disk is no more working now. So I am thinking now if it's possible to write the image of that floppy to a flash drive and then I may boot my machine from the flash drive.
My machine's BIOS has the option of 'Boot from USB'.

Method 5 of the website mentioned by Darren seemed to be a solution to my problem but it did not work for me.
After a little browsing the method shown in "Creating a bootable USB thumb drive - Page 2 " did the magic for me.
