Windows 10: Create system repair disk tool in Windows 11 does not work properly

Please help.I am trying to create a System Repair disc in windows 11 on a 64GB 3.0 USB drive I understand it must be 32GB or higher.The USB drive is recognized in windows explorer and Disk Manager.When the Recovery Drive tool works for a while, it says "A problem occurred while creating the recovery drive."It does not even ask for any drive to create the Recovery drive.Can someone help, please?

System repair disk DVD's that I created on Windows 11 PC's will not boot.

You would have to create a system image disk in Windows 11 and then attempt to make it bootable by using something like Image Burn.

I agree that this is not a very elegant solution. The fact that the system image disk is no longer bootable in Windows 11 severely decreases its usefulness.

Luckily, the Windows 11 iso downloadable from Microsoft is bootable and also contains repair tools.

The steps below are for installing an image you previously made. These steps work with DVD disks but it should work with a USB thumb drive as well.

1. Place the Windows 11 iso Operating System Disc that you downloaded from Microsoft in a DVD drive.
   
2. Boot and continuously tap the key till that will bring up the boot selection menu. For Asus motherboards, this is F8. When the ‘Please select boot drive’ screen comes up, select the UEFI entry with the DVD drive that contains your Operating System Disc. Press Enter.
   
3. When ‘Press any key to boot from CD or DVD’ comes up, press Enter. The Windows logo will appear.
   
4. When the ‘Install Now’ dialog box appears, click the ‘Repair Your Computer’ link in the bottom left hand corner.
   
5. Choose Troubleshoot>System Image Recovery>Windows 11.
   
6. When the message ‘Windows cannot find a system image on this computer’ comes up, place the last system image disc in your DVD drive and close the drive.
   
7. Click ‘Retry’.
   
8. Your computer will now search for an image. When it has found it, click ‘Next’.
   

At ‘Choose Additional Restore Options’ do not check ‘Format and repartition discs’. Click ‘Next’.

9. At ‘Reimage your computer’ click ‘Finish’.

10. Follow the screen instructions and insert the other system image discs as requested until the system desktop comes up.

The program will offer to burn a system repair disc. As mentioned above, the Windows 11 System Repair Disc is no longer bootable without alterations so do like Nancy said and just say no.

I hope this helps.

 

system repair disk?

Hello ames, this is Emily.

The System repair disk is actually quite an old concept from Windows 7 era. It allows you to create a repair disk from Control Panel > Backup & restore > Create a system repair disk. It requires CD/DVD rom and it will create a CD/DVD media. You can use it in case computer runs into issue and cannot boot up.

As I mentioned this is an old concept and modern computers these days usually don't have the CD/DVD-rom. Instead, you can create a Windows 11 Installation Media via a USB flash drive instead. Once you have this flash drive, you can use it to do the exact same purchase as a repair option to boot up computer into Windows Recovery environment, or you can also use it to install new copy of Windows 11.

Here is how you can create one:

To perform a clean installation of Windows 11 using the Windows Media Creation Tool:

The following steps should be done on a working Windows computer:

Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295

Run the tool and select "Create installation media for another PC."

Choose "USB flash drive" as the media to use for the installation and select "Next."

Connect a USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space to your computer.

Select the USB flash drive you want to use, and then select "Next."

The tool will then download the required files and create the installation media.

 

Create system repair disk error

Rather than System repair disk, I suggest you to create a recovery drive which is more reliable:
