xp pro back up

[Guest]

I use windows xp pro. pentium 4, 2.53 GHz, 512Mb ram. I started the backup process of my settings to a floppy with windows backup program but cancelled after a few minutes.
Now whenever I start the backup process in advanced mode, I get a message'windows backup utility has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the
inconvenience.Please tell microsoft about this problem'(send error report).No problems in 'wizard mode'(the report was sent)

What did I do wrong. Can I uninstall and reinstall. If so, how do I do it. I have the xp pro Cd. Any suggestions

You can re-install it , but that is not the problem. it
cannot backup to a floppy or a cd. A backup device is a
hard drive or a Tape drive.
