copying files in linux

[wadada]

Hi again comerades

I am finding some problems trying to make a copy of a unix file on a 
floppy onto another floppy. I tried using the 'mount' command in 
order to mount the A: drive so that I can copy the files on the 
floppy into a temperary directory in Linux and then copy these files 
from the temporary directory onto another floppy disk. On issuing the 
command "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt', this is the message that I 
got:
        "mount:wrong fs type"
        
I guess the kind of files on the floppy were not DOS type and so it 
was incorrect to use the above command. I will be very grateful to 
get some help from anyone who has attempt playing with copying a unix 
file type from one floppy to another. Thanks in advance.
