Windows 7 System Recovery Disc - 32Bit and 64Bit (Updated Jul 2011) | 300MB
This is where Recovery Disk come into play. It is recommended that users create a recovery disk as soon as possible and keep it in a safe location. In case your Windows 7 fails to boot, the recovery disk can help fix the problem.
f you-re like most PC users, you probably got Windows 7 with a new PC or laptop. And if you-re like 99% of the population, you get your new machines from one of the major manufacturers. Dell, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo; who all have one thing in common: they don-t give you a real Windows 7 installation disc with your purchase. Instead, they bundle what they call a -recovery disc- (that-s if you-re lucky - otherwise you-ll have a recovery partition instead) with your machine and leave it at that.
It doesn-t matter that you just paid a thousand dollars for a machine that comes with a valid Windows 7 license - your computer manufacturer just don-t want to spend the money (or perhaps take on the responsibility) of giving you a Windows 7 installation DVD to accompany your expensive purchase.
The problem is, with Windows 7, the installation media serves more than one purpose. It-s not just a way to get Windows installed, it-s also the only way of recovering a borked installation. The Windows 7 DVD has a complete -recovery center- that provides you with the option of recovering your system via automated recovery (searches for problems and attempts to fix them automatically), rolling-back to a system restore point, recovering a full PC backup, or accessing a command-line recovery console for advanced recovery purposes.
Thankfully, Microsoft seems to have realized this problem, and have thankfully made a recovery disc for this purpose. It contains the contents of the Windows 7 DVD-s -recovery center,- as we-ve come to refer to it. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows 7, and just serves as a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, one could re-create this installation media with freely-downloadable media from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK kit, a multi-gigabyte download); but it-s damn-decent of Microsoft to make this available to Windows- users who might not be capable of creating such a thing on their own. You can make your own copy from Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, but now you have an easier alternative.
It-s a 143 MB download (165 MiB for the 64-bit version), and in the standard ISO format, ready to burned directly to a CD or DVD. Don-t wait until your PC crashes to download a copy! Download and burn your recovery disc today, so that when the time comes, you-ll be ready!
What it does: The Windows 7 Recovery Disc can be used to access a system recovery menu, giving you options of using System Restore, Complete PC Backup, automated system repair, and a command-line prompt for manual advanced recovery.
What it doesn-t do: You cannot use the Windows 7 Recovery Disc to re-install Windows - it only fixes (not replaces!) Windows.
