Create system repair disk, stuck

I bought a new laptop yesterday and today decided to create a system repair disk. I inserted a blank DVD RW and started the process the progress bar went to about 60-70% (estimate, douse not give actual progress %) in half an hour and has now been at that exact same point for the last 5 hours. I have had no errors and the widow still says "creating disk..." and it still sounds as though the DVD drive is still writing onto the dvd.

I Wouldn't think it would take this long to create especially with no progress.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I agree with Kaktussoft, DVD-R discs seem to be the best option.

Also, check this tutorial, which also points the way to a system repair USB drive as well.
