Repair CD - System Repair Disk
Recently questions were raised as to what functions are available on the System Repair CD - Create that Windows 7 will create and burn to a CD. 
These clips are are from a 32 bit CD I made:
Insert the CD in the CD / DVD drive and reboot the computer.
When requested, "Hit any key to boot from CD."
Select the Language and click next. 
Windows will search for an Operating System to repair. 
You can choose to restore a System Image you created,
or go the Recovery Tools screen. 
These are the same utilities available through the Install DVD,
or via the function of the 100 MB System Partition (if installed). 
Tapping the F8 key before Windows loads (Safe Mode) opens this menu: 
Selecting "Repair Your Computer" also opens the "System Recovery Options" menu,
but requires a password to proceed. 
Cheers!
Robert

Great work Robert.
I did Startup Repair on the beach the other day with my laptop, thanks to the 100mb System Reserved partition which put a "Repair Your Computer" link on the F8 Advanced Boot Options..
Was in the middle of removing a dual boot for a guy in Poland via Remote Desktop when laptop restarted to a black screen with cursor.
Since I didnt' have DVD with me, would have had to drive 100 miles to get home to finish the job before the guy could use his computer, plus missed some primo waves.

If so, it's a good reason to accept the 100mb during install. That is my understanding. It is one of the features of the System partition. It also means you can repair your C: drive (for example) without bootable media! However, if the hard drive crashes, bootable media will be required.

For clarity, if you have the Install DVD and a working DVD drive, correct; there is no added functionality to having a "System Repair" CD.
For clarity, if you did not receive the Install DVD or only have a working CD-ROM, then the "System Repair" CD can provide all the functionality of the DVD.
