Once your new computer is up and running you will need to make a Windows repair disc. A repair disc is needed to recover your computer system in the event of a problem. This will allow you to restore the computer to its original state. To make a repair disk for Windows you will need a blank CD.

Create Repair Disc

Click the "Start" button from the Windows toolbar. Select the option for "Control Panel" and then click the option for "System and Security." Click on the link for "Back up your computer" to continue. Look at the pane on the left of the screen and click the link for "Create a system repair disk."

Insert a blank CD or DVD disk into the CD/DVD drive in your computer. Select your DVD drive in the drop down list. Click the "Create Disc" button to continue. You will see a message on the screen saying that the files for the disc are being prepared. Windows will then begin burning these files to your blank CD or DVD disc. This process can take up to 20 minutes to complete.

Click the "OK" button when you see a "repair disc is complete" message appear on the screen. You will then see a message box appear or labeling your new repair disc.

Using Repair Disc

When your computer suffers a problem you need to place the repair disc into the CD/DVD drive and then reboot the computer. You computer will then boot into the Windows Recovery Environment. Select a language if prompted and you will then see a list of recovery options.

Select an option and click "Restart." This will boot the computer into the recovery mode. Windows will then begin the repair process. When complete you will be prompted to remove your repair disc from the CD/DVD drive and reboot the computer. Windows will then restart normally.

Tips

A Windows repair disc will require 140 megabytes of free space for the required files.

If you are unsure about making a repair disc on your own, you can take the computer to a local computer repair shop in your area.

Does the memorex disc repair work?

I bought the memorex disc repair today, and have to say, it's terrible. I have tried to repair 3 discs and I was unable to completely repair any of them. One disc I was able to get it so it didn't skip, but there was still another problem, later on in the disc that it didn't work for. I would say at best it is a real crap shoot, as to weather or not it will work. It's cheap enough to give it a shot, but I wouldn't put my hopes into it.
