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.

    I had the same problem..after going through about 6 pages of replies I found that ANY encryption (ie: Boxcrypter, Cloudfogger, etc.) for cloud storage will cause this error.  Simply Close and/or Exit the encryption software and it should work.  For good measure I also exited ALL cloud storage (ie: Google drive, MS OneDrive, etc.).

    It would be nice if we got some better participation from Microsoft in these forums.  The supposed answer does not address all the issues that people have found and reported in this thread.   It should be updated.

    I too found instances where you cannot create a system disk because some other software component is active and needs to be turned off (i.e. TrueCrypt) and it is disturbing to see some of these issues from an OEM installation.

    I would love to provide feedback, but the URL posted above results in Page Not Found.  Perhaps our expectations are just too high for Microsoft to provide quality products, services or support?

    Example of another Microsoft middle finger. Drag it out so that people give up and scream until LinuxMint 17 x64, happens. Ah, it did.
