Windows 7 comes with the built-in ability of being able to create a System Repair Disk that can be used to recover from major issues.
The same recovery features can be found on the Windows 7 installation disc, but if you don’t have an installation disc, or your was lost or damaged, you’ll need this recovery disc to access the Windows 7 recovery features in case your system becomes seriously corrupt or unbootable.
To begin the process of creating a System Repair Disc, Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security >Backup and Restore.
Click “Create a System Repair Disc”
If you have multiple optical drives installed in your system, select your preferred CD or DVD burner from the drop down. Place a CD or DVD in the optical drive tray and click “Create disc.”
A progress bar will be displayed on the screen. Creating the disc should only take a few minutes. When the process is done, click “OK.”
Label your Recovery disk and put it in a safe place.
If you travel frequently, It may be a good idea to stick a system recovery disc in your laptop bag. If you run into any major computer issues on the road, you’ve got your Windows 7 system repair disc with you to help save the day.
Note: The size of the System Repair disc is only 140 MB, so a CD works fine. You can, of course, use a DVD if you wish.
