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.

    Thanks for that; Its what I eventually tried. 

    However

    When I had "Fixed" the Boot up and "Repaired", I still am unable to create a system repair disc..

    ...and....I....don`t....know....what....else....is....not...working...as it should (e.g. do I have a virus which even Malwarebytes or Norton 2013 cannot find and is cloning out all my documents everytime I am are online?

    Who knows if that is not happening to everyone with the 0x80070057 error?

    Who knows how many people could have their credit card details compromised due to such virus? issues?

    I also had to disable cloud storage software with virtual drives (sugarsync and wuala). Then it worked.

    Thanks

    It was not at all obvious that cloud services were the problem, but disabling them solved the problem.  Now I can take HP Advisor BACK off my system.  That didn't help at all!

    Thanks!

    OH, THANK YOU. Exited cloud service (Sugar Sync) and I could make the repair disc after getting the same inscrutable error as everyone else. Hooray!
