Windows 7: Create system repair disc

As a precaution, you should create a system repair disc so that you can restore your Windows system after a crash. So in an emergency you have an emergency CD at hand to save your important data.

Create system repair disk in Windows 7 - how it works

1. Insert a blank CD or DVD into your drive. If you don't have a CD at hand, you can also use a USB stick.
2. Click "Start" and look for "System Repair Disk". Select the search result "Create System Repair Media".
3. Alternatively, you can also find the menu in the Control Panel: Select "System and Maintenance", then "Backup and Restore". Now click on "Create System Repair Media".
4. A new window is opening up. Select the drive in which the blank CD or USB stick is located from the dropdown menu and click on "Create disk".
