How To Make a Windows 7 Repair Disc

When a serious error occurs on your system, there are several recovery options available to you,

Though as anyone who has Windows 7 knows, the options in Microsoft's new operating system are different from those that have come in previous versions.

• What to do when you need to repair Windows 7:
  Use this article as a way to navigate the repair process in Windows 7.  Specifically, we'll talk about making a System Repair DVD, a feature that is unique to Windows 7 and constitutes the best way to restore a damaged system after a major crash or a malicious attack.  Below are the three repair strategies available.
• Using a OEM Recovery Partition:
  Many manufacturers will provide a recovery partition for use by the end user. To recover your system this way the user must boot into the advanced options screen.
• Using a Windows 7 Installation Disc:
  To recover your system using the installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer. You can also use your Windows 7 Installation disc to manually make a recovery disc. Make sure the BIOS is set to boot from CD or DVD or press F8 during boot process. But many people don't have an installation disk, receiving their copy of Windows 7 pre-installed on a computer.
• Using a System Repair DVD:
  For those who did not receive an installation disc with their purchase can use a system repair DVD.  This is a feature whereby you insert a blank DVD+R and Windows will make a special repair disk that can be used whenever an emergency arises.

The majority of users today have purchased their PC’s with Windows 7 already loaded by the manufacturer. In these cases the user does not have a Windows Installation disc. The problem here is that the Windows Installation disc is not only used to install software but includes the full version Recovery Center provided by Microsoft.

• The Recovery Disc:

Microsoft has helped the user overcome this issue by creating a recovery disc that can be created by the user to repair Windows 7 files. The Windows 7 Recovery Disc allows the user to access a system recovery menu after a system crash. This menu has options for using System Restore, Complete PC Backup, automated system repair, and a command-line prompt for manual advanced recovery. Note: Windows 7 can be repaired but not re-installed.
