er, isn't it simpler to boot the NTFS system and use the copy command? Or Windoze' drag and drop -> anywhere on network?

It appears that you are prone to DL of unknown stuff from strangers for which you are unsure how to use properly or effectively. You might want to rethink that.

Copying files from the NTFS partitions can be done in the following manner:
* create a directory such us /mnt/drivec
mkdir /mnt/drivec
* mount the NTFS partition corrosponding to your C: drive as follows:
mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/drivec
replace the question marks with whatever you think your C drive. The notation is, for the first question makr, the channel, eg Primary Master is a, primary slave is b, etc.
* now you can "cd" into that directory as follows
cd /mnt/drivec
* if you do a "dir" here you will see C:\. You may now put in a dos formatted floppy and use "cp" to copy files over. For instance:
cp autoexec.bat /dev/fd0
assuming you are in /mnt/drivec, which is your C: drive, and that a floppy is in the drive, that file will be copied off.
