Look at the man page for dd.

You can do such a copy from floppy ( or any device ) to a file thusly

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/me/floppy.img

Remove master floppy from drive and place blank in drive

dd if=/home/me/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

Just an example. me happens to be my user account.
No mounting neccessary ( in fact, it is unwise ).
