In other words, you need to make your own system repair disc through Windows. A simple scenario where a repair disc would be useful is if you decide for whatever reason that you want to install Windows XP as well as your current Windows.
The system repair disc would be able to reinstall the correct bootloader to make all operating systems bootable. Most other repair discs made by Windows and uploaded to websites have just about all been taken down from the internet by Microsoft actively seeking their removal, for some reason. Although not immediately obvious in Windows Vista, it does come with the ability to create the repair CD which you can use to repair things like the boot sector, boot failure issues or various other problems.
The odd thing about Vista is it appears the function to create the disc was removed in Service Pack 1 onwards. What you need to do if you have Service Pack 1 or 2 installed is to use the original Recdisc. You can download the correct version for your operating system architecture below:.
Recdisc for Vista bit Recdisc for Vista bit. If you have UAC on, run the tool and click the Manual button to the right. If done correctly, you should now be able to run the repair disc creator. Go to Start or press the Win key and type recdisc. All you have to do is press Win or go to Start and type recdisc, then follow the prompts by selecting the optical drive with a blank CD and pressing the button. Unfortunately, with Windows 8 Microsoft has gone back to playing around with the recovery disc feature like they did in Windows Vista.
All is not lost though because you still get the new to Windows 8 feature of writing the repair disc directly to USB flash drive. Then make sure the flash drive is inserted and press Next. After a short while the USB recovery drive will be created. I replaced the recdisc. When running recdisc. I did reinstall Vista today just to test this and it asks me for the install DVD as well. The application will scan your hard drive for errors that are preventing Windows Vista from booting.

In reply to Sharief K's post on April 24, I called again using my case number and the new tech I spoke with stated that I can NOT use a vista ultimate disk to repair the system startup boot files for a vista home premium install. I don't have any vista home premium CDs or recovery CDs. I finally jus restart and try again. In reply to Corey's post on April 24, Hi Corey, - Is it a bit or bit computer?
