How do I go from assembly to ISO?

Hello,

Here's what I mean.

I want to write bootable code, an OS of sorts.

My plan is to write in assembly, assemble it to flat binary (not formatted for running over an OS as my code will actually be an OS), take that binary file and convert it to an ISO, and finally burn the ISO onto a USB.

I can use notepad to write the assembly, but I need an assembler running on Windows that will spit out flat binary.

Then, I need a way to convert a binary into an ISO.

Finally, I have a program already that will low-level write (burn) an ISO onto a USB for booting.

How can I find a good assembler running on Windows (NOT packaged with Visual Studio - I hate that program) that will spit out flat binary?

Also, how can I convert a binary into an ISO?

Thanks.
