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  Your suggestion worked.  I still can't do it through the menu but I guess things could be worse.

    I'm running off-the-shelf Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit on a self-built computer (so no HP nonsense here) and still I get the same error as everyone else in this thread. SFC scan comes out totally clean nor does the administrative command line 'recdisk' work (gives the same error), I'm happily able to burn CD's, DVD's and Blurays to my hearts content with Nero and ImgBurn.

    So what gives? I've got a fully updated Windows installation that was installed on a vanilla new computer and I've even ran CCleaner to scrub the registry to no avail. I can do image backups and normal scheduled backups to my external drive no problem, but I can't burn a single recovery disc?

    The last thing that I can think of is that the disk recording application might not support USB-connected burners? I'm using an LG SuperMulti Blue external USB v2.0 burner and don't have an internal burner on my desktop machine at all. The utility finds and suggests the burner correctly in the targer selection drop-down box and fails with the error the moment I press the 'Create Disc' button.

    If nothing else works, you can download an iso copy from http://www.windows7library.com/blog/downloads/recdisc.iso

    Pretty sure the problem is with group policies- you are not allowed to create the disk. If you are using Win 7 Home Basic, you have no way to edit group policies, so you will never be able to create a restore disk. So the problem is with Microsoft, not your comput    NO I NEED TO BUY THE RIGHT DISK
