Recdisc.exe crashing for making system repair disc

[TE7]

I cannot make a system repair disc, either through the control panel or command prompt using recdisc.exe. The app crashes with no error code about 1-2 seconds after choosing the option or issuing the command. I've tried all the things on the web, including: the bcd enum fix; trying it from the hidden admin account; tried uninstalling numerous CD/DVD using programs; uninstalling Dropbox and Google drive apps; tried it while booting into safe mode. It is a Dell pc but the Dell fix on the web didn't apply to me. Maybe try uninstalling all Dell apps? I have the DataSafe local backup from Dell, which I use to make recovery discs. It's icon is running in the system tray, but I couldn't find an entry for it in msconfig/startup. Maybe it's a service? Maybe disabling the service if it's enabled? The only things I haven't tried is uninstalling the Dell apps or services, and using the Win 7 installation disc, which I'd rather not do because it's a workaround and not a fix. I even did a Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium 64 bit repair re-install (upgrade option), which did fix some other things but not the recdisc.exe crashing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I did find the Dell DataSafe Online service, which I stopped, tried recdisc.exe, no help, re-started, tried again, no help.

Found the problem with a further Google search. The installation of BOX SYNC causes this behavior. Uninstall it, and the problem is solved.

Does this apply to you?

No. I don't have Box Sync installed. Here's the ouitput from using AppCrashView:

I uninstalled hubic (cloud sync) and problem disappeared. Thanks for your help.

 

[Ztruker]

Cloud Sync must be like Box Sync. Glad you got it working.

 

[TE7]

It's at hubic.com. It's cloud storage. Their syncing app was causing the problem. I posted the problem on their forum so they can investigate.

Crazy solution

After days of seaching for an answer to the 80070057 parameter error code thrown by the backup-restore create a system repair disk app accidently I found a solution for my computer.

I MOVED the "hidden" folder C:\recovery to a flash drive and rebooted. Everything worked fine after that. Somehow the original folder had become corrupted.
