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.

    Yes, that would give you the option to re-install the system from the image. See this article for the steps required to recover your system:http://www.windows7library.com/blog/winrecover/system-image-restore/

    Also, you can download an iso image of the repair disk from: http://www.windows7library.com/blog/downloads/recdisc.iso

    I have the same problem on a new HP with Win 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.   From command line (ran as administrator), entered recdisc, selected the DVD drive, and got the same "The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)".  This is after running sfc and rebooting.

    If I have a system image saved on an exteral disk, will that give me the sufficient recovery ability in case of a hard drive failure?
