Win7PE or something like that for dell

[tonyvr4]

I have an old Preinstalled Environment CD that I used to use for troubleshooting when I had vista. I am not sure, but I think it was BartPE.

Is there anything similar with Windows 7 64-bit?

I also do not have system disks since Windows 7 came already on my laptop

Thanks

Sure thing, see this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2083-system-repair-disc-create.html

Make sure you, make system image.

Is this the same as a system repair disc?

I went into control panel/backup and restore and the options on the left do not show system recovery disk like the screen in the message

 

[Jonathan_King]

Yep, that's the same as a repair disc.

The option to create a repair disc is not in Backup. Check out this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2083-system-repair-disc-create.html

Does it take many DVD's to create an image backup?

Ah, thanks for that Ray.

According to the tutorial, you can enter recdisc.exe into the start menu to pull it up.

Move you add to the HD, bigger the back.

 

[Jonathan_King]

It usually takes 3-5 DVDs.

Did you or did you not make a System Repair Disk?

I created the recovery/repair disk as per instructions. But when I went to create a image it would be up to 78GB

 

[karlsnooks]

Not surprising.

You will need an external USB disk for the system image. They are cheap and worth every penny when all of a sudden you end with a serious problem or such a thing occurs as your computer being stolen.

Great idea, I will back it up to my external drive
Thanks

Glad to help.

Be sure and use Speccy to update your system specs when you get an opportunity.

 

[tonyvr4]

Just updated system specs. What is a PSU?
I updated everything else that I could see though

 

[theog]

This is a PSU.

Oh a power supply. Why didn't it just say that?

PSU= Power Supply Unit.
