Create a System Repair Disc in Windows 7

The new version of Windows seems to be a lot for stable than previous releases, however you never know when a malfunction might occur. Today we take a look at an option in Windows 7 that lets you create a System Repair disc in case you need to boot from it to recover your OS.

Create System Repair Disc

Type system repair disc into the search box in the Start menu.

1-sysp

The dialog box opens where you select the right drive and click Create disc. A CD will be fine as it only takes up 142MB of space.

3-sysp

Using the Disc

If you are having problems with your machine just pop in the recovery disc and boot from it and enter into Windows Setup [EMS Enabled].

4-sysp

After it boots up you can access recovery tools or restore the computer back to a system image (see our article on creating a system image in Windows 7).

5-sysp

Now you can choose from different recovery options to help you get your machine back up and running.

6-sysp

You never know when an Operating System disaster might occur, but having a System Recovery Disc to boot from should be part of your backup and recovery toolbox in case it does.
