How to Create a Recovery Boot CD for Windows 7
If your computer fails to boot to the operating system, due to a corrupted or missing system file, a recovery disk can restore your PC to working order. However, some computer manufacturer's no longer include recovery disks with their products, requiring users to create their own boot disks. Fortunately, Windows 7 users can use a utility accessible from the Control Panel to create a bootable recovery CD.
