Making Redhat 7.3 Install Floppy

Comment:
i am trying to create a linux (redhat 7.3) setup floppy by using rawrite and it seems to go ok until, after executing the rawrite command, it asks me for source image file location and i give it, and then it asks for destination floppy drive, and i specify a: and it starts to read the a: drive but then it always comes up with a "bad sector found" error message regardless of how many different floppies i try including ones i know are good, new ones, formatted ones, unformatted ones -- it doesn't matter what i do -- it always says bad sector found. what am i doing wrong or what can i do differently?
