Automated System Recovery failure in Windows XP

Whenever I run the Automated System Recovery Wizard on my XP (SP3) box I get
the full backup but it will not write to the floppy at the end of the
operation. Within XP I can format the diskette, I can drag and drop files to
it, and I can read those files on it but the ASR bombs out at the end after
asking me to insert a blank diskette.

I have tried several diskettes just to be sure. Within the Backup program I
can backup small files to the diskette as well. It just will not write
whatever it needs for the ASR. The light comes on as it attempts to access
the floppy but then the Windows error box comes up and there is no text.
It's just a box with a red circle and an "X" with an "OK" button. I can hit
it and retry the diskette but I get the same result every time.

Is there a fix for this? Is there another utility I can use that will
completely restore my system from a catastrophic failure (without paying more
money that is). I was able to run this utility and create the diskette on
another XP box just fine so I'm not sure what the problem is.
