Use WinRAR and split it into required number of parts of specified size using it

in ur case abt 1024 Kb in 3-4 parts as ur case is

Hi
Insert the empty floppy intothe drive and rt click on the file u want to zip. Choose "Add to Zip" and Destination name text box enter "A:\Nameofthezipfile.zip" and automatic disk spanning will be enabled.....

I have a small software called InfoSplit 2. That splits any file of any size into as many parts as you want. Tried it successfully some time back and copied 4 full marriage VCDs from one machine to another using a memory card

Tell me if you want it.

there's a software called Dariolius, which is a very good file splitter. it has a lot of options, like "fit to floppy", "split into equal parts" etc. It makes a small EXE file, when u run it, it will automatically join the split files.

You are welcome!

Just google it.
There are loads of applications for file splitting.
Also some shell extentions are available for doing it.

@bharathbala2003
what u did @ram's method was correct,but before using this method ,check if all the floppies being used dont have bad sectors (use scandisk) This was what happened in ur case.this is a very unsafe method since ,even if a single floppy went bad after u zipped ur files, the whole data becomes unrecoverable.
