How to create a Windows 7 system repair disc


Windows 7 System Repair DiscAt some point in every computer owner’s life, the machine they have come to rely on to check the news, stay in touch and work on, stops working. This can be due to any number of factors, such as viruses, errors and hardware failures.
When such a situation arises, if you are not prepared to deal with it, it can lead to a sticky situation. You can lose everything on your hard drive, render your system inoperable or be forced to re-install everything on your PC. When you first buy a new computer with Windows 7 on it, you should take the time to create a system repair disc.
A Windows 7 system repair disc has all the tools necessary to repair, recover and reinstall your operating system in the event that a catastrophic failure occurs. These discs do not come standard with new computer purchases anymore, so you must make one yourself in order to take advantage of it if your system crashes. Making a system repair disc is easy to do and takes just a few minutes from start to finish.

When you decide to make a Windows 7 system repair disc, you need either a CD or DVD to burn it to. You can use either form of media, and if your computer requires one or the other it will tell you when the process begins. Most system repair discs can be burned to a single CD though.
Once you have your CD, you can begin the process. There are two ways to get to where you need to go to make a repair disc.
The first way is to click your “Start Menu” and click “All Programs

The next screen will let you know your operating system is prepping the disc. This will take just a few seconds.

A screen will pop up the first time you make a system repair disc to let you know how to label the disc for future reference. In the disc I made for my own operating system, it is telling me to label it as “Repair disc Windows 7 64-bit.” Make sure as soon as the disc is done, you label it and put it away in a place you will remember. Do not wait to label it as you may forget what it is down the line.
