I am not able to create the Automated System Recovery disk.
I have a floppy drive installed and it works.
I have XP Pro w/ SP2

These are the steps:
1) I click on the Autometed System Recovery Wizard
2) At the Welcome screen I click Next
3) Backup media or filename: E:\Backup.bkf
4) Completing the Automated System Recovery preparation wizard
5) Click Next I get a progress window that says it is "Querying computer for volume info...", "Building list of volumes...", "Writing to ASR state file..." 6) This message is displayed: The files for recovery diskette could not be created. The operation was aborted.

Thanks for any help
