Umm... By the command you gave there, you're not copying the files to a
file system on the disk. If you "sudo mount /mnt/floppy", "cp [file]
/mnt/floppy", "sudo umount /mnt/floppy", then the files will be stored
on the actualy filesystem of the diskette. As for what you've been
doing, I'm not exactly sure what it was but it looks like you were
writing the raw data straight to the disk, or something.
