System Repair Disc - Create

Hello again Brink! Both machines are running Win7 Home Premium x64 bit. That's the same edition, right?

Yep, that's right. You're good to go then. :)

Thanks again. You're the best!

My Windows 7 Pro 64bit system is no longer booting. When I start the PC I get the POST screen, then when the Windows logo is supposed to appear I just get a black text screen with the "_" cursor slowly moving down the screen about 1 line every second.

I'm guessing my boot record is messed up and I want to try and repair it, BUT when I boot from my installation DVD and choose to repair it doesn't show any Windows installations. If I select to look for a driver I can see the system drive with all my files on it, so I know the Windows drive is working.

I just went to my second Win 7 Pro 64 system and tried to create a repair CD as laid out in this post, but the CD does not boot. Any ideas why the "Create a system repair disk" would work without any errors, but the resulting CD would not be bootable?

Nope... Just a message about the media not being bootable and to press any key.

I was able to get my system working though. I had to go into the BIOS and mess with the UEFI settings to get my installation DVD to detect the Windows installation.

All is well again on my PC.
