Generate a floppy image on Windows

Question

So, I have compiled an ASM boot program like this :

nasm -f bin -o bootsect bootsect.asm

And now I need to run the next UNIX command to generate a floppy image from the output, but i'm using MS Windows...

cat bootsect /dev/zero | dd of=floppyA bs=512 count=2880

Does someone know how can I do the equivalent in the Windows' cmd ?

There is a port of Unix dd to the Win32 environment. Or you could use rawwrite. Both are available for download at http://www.chrysocome.net.
