[Floppertalk] Floppy drive emulation?

Not exactly a flopper question; but is there any known way to emulate a 
PC floppy disc drive and disc using the contents of a folder as a 
target?

When I got a cd writer I burned all my floppy media onto CDR but a lot 
of it won't install (particularly old games like syndicate) unless I 
copy the files back onto floppies, which I would do but I no longer have 
a floppy drive!

I have tried using utilities that emulate hard drives and CD drives and 
using map network drive to create drives lettered "a" but some of my 
games and utilities still seem to be able to tell that they aren't being 
installed off an actual FDD.

Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, flopper is great by the way :)
