Nope, Lazesoft recovery did not help
I hope this link might help you:

Yes Us3r that may help if OP has a retail license.
Jerome, you can get official SP1 installation ISOs with your retail license key from that MS site.
I'd like if Us3r could show me where I can download the Windows 7 Home ISO from that site, the numerous links I've tried did not link to downloading an ISO file; besides I need a recovery disc, which if this can be extracted from the ISO I'd like to know how ?
Ha; I thought those were strictly images ! I'm a little perplexed how do I make a recovery disc from an ISO without installing the OS, which I don't need to do ?
Installation media can be used to start the recovery environment.
Option 2 - System Recovery Options
You can use Rufus to make a bootable USB flash with the ISO, or Burn Disc Image - ISO or IMG file
Sorry for not replying early and looks like others did it for me, was a bit pre-occupied with my own issue.
Glad that you have sorted out your issue (I hope you have).
