I don't understand...?

You want an OS that will fit on a floppy disk, thats free?
1. No OS fits on a floppy disk, that I know of.
2. OS don't come free, that I know of.

Why in HELL would you COPY the Windows files? Use an install CD, you're much more likely to have a working Windows copy at the end of it.
