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.

    Using the install disk will create a 32bit repair disk. I can't seem to make a 64bit repair disk, is the normal.

    I have the upgrade disk, not the installation disk.  There is no main Repair menu, no command prompt.  (at least not as well as I can see)

    I found a solution at 

    http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    The neosmart website has Windows 7 and Vista sytem recovery disk downloads that worked for me.

    1st download the uTorrent software and use it to download the Windows Vista or 7 ISO file.

    2nd You'll need a disk burning software to build a disk from an ISO file. I used BurnAware. 

    3rd I placed the disk in my DVD drive and rebooted. Upon start-up the bios will hang for a short time asking if you want to boot from the CD DVD. Select this.

    4th I was able to backup to a Blu-ray disk in Windows 7 Pro. I placed the backup Blu-Ray disk in the BD drive.

    When repair asked for permission to rebuild I selected the BD disk drive as a source and the repair disk software found the backup file.

    I was more than happy to donate for the system rebuild disk.
