I get an insufficient space message. That is to be expected. A disk image is exactly that, a sector by sector image of EVERY sector on the disk. That includes those of the boot sector (includes the BPB-BIOS Paramter Block), 14 sectors for the root directory and 18 sectors for the two copies of FAT12. Those 33 sectors leave on a formatted 1.44MB floppy disk 2847 sectors (out of 2880 sectors of an unformatted disk). To write a floppy disk IMAGE to a floppy, you need a program that writes that image SECTOR FOR SECTOR back to the disk, not as a single file as you have tried. On Unix/Linux systems, the easiest way to achive that is to use the "dd" command or WinRaWrite on a Windows system (or rawrite if you have another DOS only system). I personally used for probably more than two decades by now a Shareware program called WinImage, which also does works nicely to create quickly images from floppy disks or CD-ROMs...
