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.

    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 computer.
