winXP backup utility on laptop without FDD?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,
I have a little problem with backup utility which I couldn't solve by myself
:(

Is there any solution to make full system backup with WinXP Backup utility
on a laptop that has no floppy drive?
I tried to do it, and save a bkf file on a remote HDD, but it constantly
asking me to insert a floppy to make startup floppy...

Is that a bug in XPPro SP2, because the system came with a laptop, and for a
long time laptops doesn't have FDD drive in it...?


Thank you for any helpfull answers,
Una
