I found the command to create the image file but I need to create it in a different directory. I used dd a: cdboot.img which creates the image file on the floppy and then runs out of space. Does anyone know the command to create the image from the floppy and set the destination to the c drive. Thanks in advance.

Try
DD A: C:\Directory Name\FILE.IMG
or
DD A: FILE.IMG C:\Directory Name

Change C:\Directory Name to target directory, and name file whatever you want.
