Hi lew9789,

·         Which method did you follow to create the recovery disc?

i.           Boot the system by inserting Windows 7 installation disc.

ii.         When it gets to the main setup window, click on Repair from the lower left corner.

iii.       Select Command Prompt from the main Repair menu. 

iv.        At the command prompt type in recdisc, then ENTER.

v.          You'll get the popup to choose which drive letter to create the Recovery disc to.

vi.        Have a clean DVD in the DVD drive and select start.

This should get your System repair disc created.

    Pretty sure the problem is with group policies- you are not allowed to create the disk. If you are using Win 7 Home Basic, you have no way to edit group policies, so you will never be able to create a restore disk. So the problem is with Microsoft, not your computer.

    Microsoft removed our ability to do a system repair disc.

    Instead search for and download Windows trial ISO of your version and match the 32 bit or 64 bit, Then use Daemon Tools to burn it to a disc.  When you boot from that disc using the Trial Windows, select repair Windows/Advanced/restore from system image. BAMSKI

    I was getting the same error message as everyone else in this thread, on a home built PC running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Although I am not running TrueCrypt, I am running Boxcryptor, which encrypts files stored in "the cloud." (Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, etc.). As soon as I stopped Boxcryptor from running, I was able to create the system rescue disc. Thanks for the tip.

    Hallelujah, Sugar Sync was my problem as well. Exited SugarSync and Google Drive for good measure and burned perfectly with no issues. 

    Many thanks to the person that figured it out and glad I read all of the post to the end.

    Sugar Sync was my problem, too. It's a shame I had to go through so many pages before finding the solution.

    No matter, it works now! Thanks!
