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.

    Am I mistaken or not this should be good with a pc with 2 dvd drives.

    How can you boot with Win installation disc and after command prompt recdisc; enter take out the installation disk and put in a clean dvd if you have a laptop?

    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.).
