Question on creating a Repair Disk

[sethm1]

Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit.

The current Repair Disk (DVD) is from when I first bought the PC.
I do have the actual Install disk as well.

So now that I have SP1, should I create a new Repair Disk?
If / when I need such a disk, will I also have all updates (from when the disk was created)?

Thx

I suppose you could do a system image and burn that to a disk.

Such as Acronis True Image?

Which I use, then creating a system repair disk then not needed?

I don't think the repair disk takes into account SP1, and if it does it wouldn't be able to detect the updates.

As for myself though I've burnt an SP1 install disk and (will) use that if needed.

I do use images though, as in Acronis, but I use Macrium free version. 20 minutes and you're straight if things go pear shaped.

Elmer BeFuddled - May I ask how you created an install disk with SP1 ?

Go to: https://www.w7forums.com/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads-t12325.html

Choose the ISO that matches the version you have now and download it. Then burn the ISO to a good quality blank DVD with ImgBurn. Burn no faster than 4X or 6X at the max.
