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.

    There is another possible cause for this error when trying to create a system repair disc:

    cloud drive applications.

    Unmount/quit/close the cloud apps in the system tray, then try creating a system repair disc again.

    I own 7 computers all running Windows 7 Prof. HP, Dell, Asus and Intel among the manufactures, creating a system repair disc is a step I perform on every clean install of the OS, yet it continues to fail on all of them. Doesn't sound like a file system problem or a hardware problem.

    Exiting from BoxCryptor cloud encryption service (right click taskbar icon -> exit) Solved my problem
