Solved Why can't I create a password recovery disk in Windows 7 Home 64

[Jim S]

I tried the "create a password reset disk" wizard and although most all tutorials and sources of reference call it a disk, using my DVD/CD drive to create a "disk" is excluded from the options presented. When I edit and enter the drive letter I get the error message: "The disk is not a password recovery disk" I would prefer not to purchase a thumb drive just for this since it costs more and is easy to lose or delete.

Does anybody know what gives? Thanks in advance.

I just ordered a 16GB flash drive from Amazon for $9.95, no shipping.

That or a floppy (can you believe it!!!) seem to be the only choices.

Amazon.com: Kingston DataTraveler I - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DTI/16GB: Electronics
IS this the one? my friend recently ordered that one. I might even do the same
here is another cheap one! http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Attache-Flash-Drive-P-FD16GATT2-GE/dp/B000NJUI8C/ref=cm_lmf_tit_10
only, i don't think it will perform near as well as the 1st.
