| | cannot create system repair disc error 80070057 Hi I'm using Windows 7 ultimate RTM and cannot create a repair disc image anymore. i get the error code 0x80070057 incorrect parameter with a dvd inserted. I'm really not sure what's causing this... Thanks in advance for any replies |

| | Curious error - do you only get it when trying to create a recovery disc? Is windows all up to date? Dvd is a waste - it fits easily on a cd-r. |

| | yeah. all the latest updates are on windows from the windows 7 page (of course not all the optional updates but those are irrelevant anyways). Well I can try a cd-rw next time around if i can get this to work somehow. I'm wondering if repair installation might be a good idea to fix this if there aren't any other options |

| | Hello v432, and welcome to Seven Forums. It will not hurt anything to do a repair install to be safe though. Hopefully you will be able to create a system repair disc afterwards.  |

| | Thanks for all the replies. I did a repair installation and it does create a repair disc but requires me to insert the installation disc first. Only after that can I insert a blank disc to create an image. Is that unusual? |

| | Strange - have a look on the root of the drive for a hidden folder called Recovery. It claims to be empty. Copy and paste it to your downloads folder .It should containn boot.sdi and winre.wim. |

| | v432, That is unusual. If you look in Disk Management, do you have the 100MB System Reserved partition? |

| | apparently I don't seem to have that. I only have a main partition (C with 9mb unallocated and then it just shows the optical drive in the disk management. |

| | Go to folder Options - show Hidden Files and protected o/s files - find the Recovery folder - follow steps in my previous post. |

| | I did copy the recovery folder to the downloads folder and it does contain the files you mentioned but I'm still getting insert windows 7 installation disk before I can create a system repair disk. Apparently there's two copies of winre.wim in the subdirectories of the recovery folder if that's relevant. One in the Temporary subfolder and one in a subfolder that's named with a lot of numbers and dashes that also contains boot.sdi Thanks for the advice though |
