that option - repair your computer - doesnt appear

If it doesn't appear it is because you are running the DVD/flash stick and not booting it.

Here is the tute I use: Repair CD - System Repair Disk

your all confusing me but i borrowed a installation cd obviously of the same build from the tech guy around my area so i copied the files over myn on my usb , and i see that option now Repair your computer so thanks anyway

Greg,
I find that tutorial to be scrambled and rambling. Some great screenshots.

Also does not cover the booting from a UFD.

Karl - I only used that tutorial so they have screenshots to find what I am referring to.

I've now found the official SevenForums tutorial: System Recovery Options

With the screenshots they already know what they're looking for so suddenly it doesn't seem so scary.

Greg,
The only trouble is that is not the screens I get when I boot from my System Repair disc.

They are close but no cigar. I can get where I want to go but for someone who hasn't been there, they can get confused when the screens and screen sequence is not precisely what is in the tutorial.

The tutorial is excellent but needs to be updated/amplified to cover the actual System Repair disc operation and the slight difference when booting from UFD.
