Create a Windows 7 repair disc and save it for an emergency.
Windows 7 provides support for creating a system repair disc that you can use to recover from a major operating system crash. The same features are included on the Windows 7 installation CD, but if you've lost this disc or it is damaged, you will need a repair disc to access the Windows 7 recovery features if your system malfunctions or becomes unbootable.
Instructions
1. Click the Windows "Start" button and select "Control Panel" from the menu. Click "System and Security," then select "Backup and Restore."
2. Click "Create a System Repair Disc." If you have more than one optical drive installed on your PC, choose your preferred CD/DVD burner from the drop-down menu. Place a blank CD or DVD in the drive tray and click "Create disc." A progress bar displays on the screen.
3. Click "OK" when Windows reports that the process is complete. Creating the recovery disc should only take a few minutes.
