How to Store User Data to NOR Flash Memory using Xilinx ISE Impact?

I'm working with Spartan-6 FPGA and Winbond25Q64FV flash memory. I want to store some data(e.g. .txt file or mem file ...) onto the flash memory using Xilinx ISE Impact. Can anyone help me with that?

    To start, create a .mem file. The beginning of this file indicates the start address (started with @), followed by data entries positioned from that address onward. Each cell's content, in hexadecimal form should be separated by a space.
