Search newsgroups. This particular question has been answered
dozens, if not hundreds, of times.
Hints: dd, WinImage, RawWriteWin, VFD,...

use any of the available imager software and rename the output file with an
.flp extension

One can simply use VmWare to do this. Simply add a B: drive to an
existing VM. Set the a: drive to the physical drive and create a new
floppy image for the b: drive then execute a diskcopy or equivalent
for the OS you are using.

I keep a small DOS VM with only 4MB of RAM, and the hard drive is
about the same size as well, for doing these kinds of operations.

With VMWare: give a guest 2 floppies: one connected to a physical drive, an
other to an image-file. Now use `diskcopy` inside the guest.

On any unix/linux machine (even on a guest with the floppy connected to the real
drive): `dd if=/dev/floppy of=/path/to/floppy.flp`. (replace /dev/floppy with
the floppy device file like /dev/fd0.)

Err... Is it just me ?
Load VMWare - assume you're talking Workstation.
Select Settings for the VM -Hardware/Floppy/Use Floppy Image.
Give it a filename with a .flp extension - Create.
Err....
