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.

    Hello gchetcuti,

    I just tried the create repair disk procedure for my HP dv-2157us win7, 64bit laptop:

    1. At command prompt, I typed recdisc.exe. At this point I got a 'create system repair disk' prompt > 'select the cd/dvd drive you want to use.'
    2. I inserted a cd-r and clicked on 'create disc'.
    3. It immediately still fails with same error I got (about 5/2010 on the first page of this 'unable to create sys repair disk' forum), saying 'could not create the disc, parameter was incorrect' (0x80070057)

    Best option would be to download an iso image from here -http://www.windows7library.com/blog/download/recdisc.iso%3Fm

    @gchetcuti. Does that disk work with both 32 and 64bit installations?

    the 64-bit system repair disc (created on a 64-bit system) is not compatible with 32-bit systems while the 32-bit disc should be ok with both systems.
