| | Creating a REPAIR CD I'm using a Dell E5500 laptop on which Windows 7 was installed. I want to create a REPAIR CD, but the software tells me that the CD in the drive isn't OK to use (although I've formatted it on another computer) and that I don't have a CD burner (although I've loaded several CD burners and then uninstalled them after I got the message). |

Might be larger than a cd. Have you tried a DVD RW? Ken |

Follow this procedure: WIN key | Control Panel | Backup & Restore In the task pane on the left-hand side, choose "Create a system repair disc" Insert a blank cd or dvd into the drive indicated by the dialog window Click on Create Please let us know the results. |

| | Screen Messages - Creating REPAIR CD Attached is a display of the screen messages that appear when I attempt to create a REPAIR CD. The small window at the bottom actually overlays the top error window. I've also tried using a DVD+R in the drive and get the same displays. Last edited by cscw7; 11 Mar 2010 at 04:02 PM.. |

| | cscw7, Perhaps the attachment didn't get attached as I didn't see one. Just as an experiment, if you have a friend with an external usb cd/dvd device, please try it on you computer. |
