Windows 10: When I create a recovery disk using recdisc, is there a way to choose the writing speed or...

I'm trying to create a recovery DVD but it tries to write it at top speed and it fails. I can't boot using USB because my computer is too old. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)
