Hi Deepali,
Make sure your floppy is not write protected. Also use mtools (man mtools) mcopy localfilename A:\ mdir A: mdel A:\filename mcopy A:\fileondisk localfile
or
you might need 2 be root to mount a floppy drive (unless you have something called as supermount in /etc/fstab on /mnt/floppy line) mount /mnt/floppy mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
