Partition & format it as FAT32 with Windows tools like RUFUS or 
RMprepUSB. Then boot from this bootable USB Flash Drive. That's about 
all the legacy emulation a BIOS will do. Booting from harddisk/floppy 
then trying to get access to USB Flash Drives is troublesome due to lack 
of the BIOS emulation (only provided for the booted drive) as well as 
DOS drivers for USB/SCSI/FireWire controllers.

If you're able to find an ASPI driver, then MKISOFS or CDRKIT can do the 
burning. Usually this means creating a new disk image (ISO file) then 
writing that to CD. I'm assuming your CD drive is connected to IDE or 
SATA controller. If not you're out of luck.

http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm  lists an ASPI.SYS
