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.

    If you are having trouble creating system restore disks (error: 0x80070057) on an HP computer using the Windows 7 utility, consider that HP may have hijacked the utility (rendering it not functional).  You may have to use the HP Recovery Media Creation utility that came with your new computer.

    It is likely that running "sfc /scannow" from the command prompt will result in no corrupt files found, and therefore attempting to "repair" the installation will be pointless. 

    The HP Recovery Media Creation is actually a CyberLink utility and I believe that as long as it is installed on the computer, the "create a system repair disc" utility that comes with Windows 7 will not work.  Try the HP utility as it seems to work.

    well I'll be

     

    so stupid and yet so obvious and it worked perfectly

     

    thank you you!

    The problem I am having is that I bought the Laptop abroad, in Japan and CANNOT install Toshiba software "IN ENGLISH" Mutha-Fu**** because the site asks for the serial numbers and does not recognize them on English sites.

    And

    NO

    People working abroad cannot always read the local language (or in my case) Japanese chinese Kanji which takes decades to learn fully.

    Recdisc just calls up the utility that fails to execute in the first place. Why offer this advice when you know it will not solve the problem?
