In Windows XP, many times we, the computer technicians are faced with Windows that is unbootable because some of the important file such as boot.ini, ntldr and etc are mysteriously missing. Unfortunately rescuing Windows XP from the recovery console by booting up with the installation disc requires some knowledge such as fixmbr, fixboot,. However if you did it wrongly, you can make the whole partition go missing and you would then have to lie to your customer that a virus has wiped out everything just to save your own skin.
When it comes to Windows 7, one of my favorite built-in tool that can be found on Windows 7 is the System Recover Options. Any Windows 7 user is able to boot in to that environment by pressing the F8 key when starting up the computer. Upon seeing Advanced Boot Option, select Repair Your Computer and it will bring you to System Recovery Options. It allows you to easily and automatically fix problems that are preventing Windows from starting. Other than that, it also has System Restore, System Image Recovery, Windows Memory Diagnostic and Command Prompt.
As useful as it is, the Advanced Boot Option can be easily wiped out when Windows bootloader is erased or replaced. As an alternative, Windows 7 offers users to create a system repair disc which allows you to access the System Recovery Options when the Windows bootloader is gone.
Some branded computer comes with Windows 7 installation disc even though the computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 but they never provide a System Repair Disc. You are responsible of creating that yourself and keep it with you at all times in case if the computer fails to start up. For more users that are more experienced with computers, they will know the importance of having a Windows 7 System Repair Disc created. However when your computer is in trouble and people tells
NeoSmart has provided downloads to Windows 7 System Recovery Disc in ISO image format for both x86 and x64 via torrent. This is useful if you would like to attempt to repair a Windows 7 computer startup problem but do not have access to a working Windows 7 computer around you. Here is how to burn the ISO image to an empty disc if you don’t know how. I personally do not like downloading from torrent because our Malaysian ISP implements bittorrent throttling which slows down the download speed. For everyone’s convenience, I have uploaded Windows 7 System Recovery Discs 32bit and 64bit to free file hosting. Do note that the Windows 7 System Recovery Disc cannot be used to re-install Windows 7 but it is meant to repair Windows 7.

thank you, appreciate the share :)
IMPORTANT note for anyone using these iso’s from USB via bootmanagers like pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
When you use the auto repair option, if it attempts to fix your MBR it will edit your USB MBR not your HDD MBR making your USB unbootable and not correcting your HDD MBR either.
I still have XP but the future looms just over the horizon. I took both.
Just trying to always “Be Prepared”.
Thanks
Thanks Raymond.Though I have a Win7 disk with 32 and 64bit versions of Ultimate all ready to go,I wasn’t aware the ISO’s were available for download. I too,approach torrents with great skepticism,so,by you going “the extra mile” and providing the files in this manner,you will once again get my vote for Tech Blog of the Year when the time comes.This is the type of hard work and dedication to your readers that should,once again,win that well deserved title.Great work!!
thanks so much Dear Raymond.
it’s very useful.
Best Regards,
phobos.
can this be used to fix vista as well?
If you have the installation disc, you don’t need this already. This article would be a great help for me to find it if I ever need it.
I dont understand Ray ? Why we need this disc while we can do the same thing with one (or every) x86/x64 Windows 7 DVD, just insert Windows 7 DVD into your DVD drive and boot from DVD and select “repair your computer”. Did you mean this System recovery disc is Windows 7 DVD ???
The windows vista installation disc also served as windows recovery disc…isnt this the case with Windows 7??
tnx Raymond! This will come in handy….^^)
Always Handy to Have a Copy Of These
Good work Raymond, keep going !
