"Create a System Repair Disc" fails
Microsoft Windows Repair Disc refuses to work. What should I do to allow creation of a System Repair Disc?
I created (I think successfully, as the Finish window seemed normal) a System Image on a USB hard drive. The image was created overnight.
After the image was created, while still inside Backup and Restore, I received the sub-window, asking if I wanted to Create a System Repair Disc. I inserted a new DVD, and clicked to start the process.
The "Create a System Repair Disc" subwindow opened, to allow the drive selection.
Immediately thereafter, (with the drive selection window text greyed out) before the I could even see the drive selection drop-down arrow, a failure window opened on top of it:
Microsoft Windows Repair Disc has stopped working
A problem caused .... please close the program.
If the debug option was chosen, the same window appeared, but without the Debug option, leaving only the Close the program option.
I rebooted, and via Backup and Restore, again tried to Create a System Repair Disc. This failed the same way. I rebooted, and used another freshly unpacked DVD. The same failure occurred.
Following forum post suggestions, I have subsequently successfully burned and verified a DVD on the DVD drive.
I use Windows 7 Professional on an Asus U50-F.
Yesterday -- maybe a coincidence -- before this failure I also installed (successfully) all of the most recent Windows Updates.
