Can't copy to A:\

I'm trying to copy a file from my C drive to a floppy, but get an error when doing so. I'm typing
copy C:\Windows\Desktop\WARIOW~1.TXT A:\
and get the error - "general error writing to drive" Abort? Retry? Fail?
The real name of the file is WarioWorld.txt, but it says it can't find that file. The reason I'm using WARIOW~1.TXT is because I searched dir C:\Windows\Desktop and that's what it listed the file as.
