I am running Win 10 Pro 64bit version 1909. I used Control Panel, System and Security, Backup and Restore (Windows 7) to create a system repair disc. That worked fine, no error messages, until I went to use it. I tried to boot my pc from the CD drive where the repair disc was inserted but got an error message, non system disc or words to that effect. I had done this previously with Win7 without any problem. Any thoughts as to why the same process is not working in Win10?

That's precisely the problem. I can't boot from the system repair disk. The mystery continues. As for the CD/DVD drive not showing up in BIOS, I think that's more of an operator error than a system error. I found that I had to put a disk in the drive before I interrupted the boot sequence. You lost me on the One Time boot selection. I've already used the Create Media Tool to generate an ISO file. I'm thinking I may have to do a clean install to have any hope of getting out of this mess.
Looks like your recovery tools are not operational.. It might be helpful to see a snipping tool picture of your Disk Management window but you will probably need to run some type of command to recover it, if it is located where we might think it is..
You would first need to disable the reagentc with reagentc /disable Then run something like the command below. The path is important and you will probably need to put a drive letter on the Recovery partition so you can know the path..
REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path r:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
Hi,
I honestly do not know.. I just checked one of mine and could find nothing as to version..
If you could boot with it and open Command Prompt, it would be listed at the top of the command prompt screen.. The version on the Repair CD would be the same as the version of Windows 10 that was installed when it was created, but that is the best I can do..
If your CD\DVD drive is not showing up in Boot Options and\or Bios consistently it probably has a problem and is why you might be getting the error.. You might check it's connections if possible..
The installation media on a CD\DVD would work, but you may get an error message if it is older than the image trying to be recovered.. Everything else should work..
Are you sure we are talking about the same Bios options ? The Boot Options I am mentioning is not a internal Bios function.. The Boot Options is accessed without actually entering the Bios... It is a "One Time" boot selection..
Edit... If you were to run the Create Media Tool you would get the newest version of Windows 10 ISO, or have it burned to a Flash Drive or DVD... They are getting big... You may need a Dual Layer DVD.. The last one I downloaded was slightly over 4gb which would fit, but I have seen some over 5gb..
Correction - sometimes the CD/DVD drive is present as a boot device option and sometimes it is not. It depends on how I get into BIOS/UEFI. This is getting really frustrating. I think the key is being able to tell what version is on the system repair disk. If I could get that information, that would be helpful.
Let's start with a basic question, one that I asked before but has not yet been answered. How do I tell what the version is on the system repair disk? I know what version of Win10 I'm running on my computer because I see it in system specifications.
BIOS is set for Legacy mode and there is no CD/DVD drive specified in the BIOS options when I interrupt the boot sequence by hitting the ESC key on startup or restart.
The only installation media I have for Win10 is an ISO file on CD.
