Well, you need a floppy drive somewhere to get data off the disk. Unless the installer insists on being on a floppy you can just copy the files on a CD or a hard disk or a flash drive and run the installer from there.

There are also many programs that can create raw images from floppy drives. Virtual floppy drive for Windows to mount the images: http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html
 
Using another PC, copy the file(s) onto a CD or USB key.
Alternatively, buy an internal floppy-drive or an external USB2-floppy-drive
