What is a recovery and repair disk
Major PC manufacturers no longer give customers a real Windows 7 installation DVD along with their purchase of a computer.
A Windows 7 installation DVD can be used to recover your PC, not just install a Windows 7 copy. The DVD has a “recovery center” that gives you options to Automated Recovery (attempts to fix automatically any errors found), System Restore (restores your computer to the last working state) or you can access a command-line for advanced recovery options.
Instead, customers are expected to create a recovery media themselves – on a CD, DVD or USB drive.
Your computer’s hard drive might have a recovery partition added by the manufacturer, but what happens when your PC or Windows isn’t working or you’ve lost the disks you had?
If you can’t boot into Windows or your PC isn’t working, only a bootable recovery and repair CD/DVD/USB can save you.
Easy Recovery Essentials, our recovery and repair disk, uses a non-destructive repair process that can recover your PC without formatting your hard drive or reinstalling Windows.
It comes with our powerful Automated Repair feature, an antivirus scanner built-in, the ability to access System Restore, tools to browse the Internet (a web browser) and back-up your most important files (documents, videos, pictures, music and so on), memory diagnostics and a command-line tools for advanced options.
Some of its features include (see list of features here):
- One-click Windows repair
- System Restore
- Web browser
- File backup
- Antivirus scanner
- Partition editor
Update: Please note that this disk is no longer free, due to licensing restrictions imposed upon us.

Создание диска восстановления системы
Создание диска восстановления системы в Windows 7 не слишком сложное занятие, это я понял, но может я создаю его неправильно? Дело в том, что бэкап созданный с помощью Архивирования данных компьютера, я случайно удалил, но есть ещё один, скопированный предварительно на флешку, она у меня 32 Гб, но флешку, Восстановление образа системы воспринимать не хочет, как мне быть?
Денис.
Создание диска восстановления системы
В нашей статье мы расскажем, как создать Диск восстановления операционной системы Windows, а затем покажем как им воспользоваться. Но сначала короткий совет нашему читателю.
- Папка с резервной копией WindowsImageBackup на вашей флешке, НЕ должна быть вложена в другую папку, если с этим всё нормально, значит самое простое решение для Вас Денис, воспользоваться любым Live CD, загрузиться с него и скопировать ваш архив с образом Windows 7, с флешки на жёсткий диск вашего компьютера, с которого вы не можете загрузиться, но только на раздел, где не установлена Windows 7. Далее загружайте ваш компьютер с Диска восстановления системы и ваш бэкап обязательно найдётся. Ну и я надеюсь, вы знаете, что восстановление будет полным и вся ваша информация с дисков, которые вы включили в бэкап удалится.
- Друзья, недавно я написал статью — Как создать резервный образ Windows 8 на дисках DVD, на флешке, на переносном жёстком диске USB, а самое главное — как с помощью этого образа восстановиться. Всё что написано в той статье, подойдёт и для Windows 7.
Ну а теперь создание диска восстановления системы, который нужно использовать для загрузки компьютера, он будет содержать в себе средства восстановления Windows 7, при помощи них можно восстановить неисправности загрузки операционной системы или восстановить её из архивной копии, что мы и сделаем.
- Примечание: Предварительно у вас должен быть создан бэкап Windows 7, это очень просто. Как это сделать? Можете почитать у нас->Как восстановить систему Windows 7, это статья о том как восстановить Windows 7 с помощью разнообразных средств восстановления встроенных в саму операционную систему, если у вас проблема с запуском или работой Windows, прочитайте сначала её, может быть всё обойдётся и без диска восстановления.
Так же нужно знать, что для диска восстановления важна архитектура системы, у вас получиться использовать 32-битный диск восстановления для любой 32-битной Windows 7, а 64-битный диск восстановления для любой 64-битной Windows 7.
Создаём диск восстановления системы, идём в Пуск->Панель управления->Архивирование данных компьютера,
выбираем Создать диск восстановления системы.
Вставляем в дисковод DVD-диск, нажимаем кнопку Создать диск
Происходит недолгий процесс создания диска восстановления системы. Теперь о том, как им воспользоваться.
Допустим у вас на компьютере тяжёлый сбой и вы совсем не можете загрузить Windows 7. Нажимаете F-8 на клавиатуре, сразу же после запуска компьютера, с намерением попасть в меню Устранение неполадок компьютера, но кроме чёрного экрана ничего.
Для восстановления работоспособности Windows 7 с Диска восстановления, вам нужно сменить в BIOS, приоритет загрузки на дисковод, затем вставить в него диск восстановления и восстановить с помощью бэкапа вашу Windows 7. Как сменить приоритет загрузки в BIOS, читайте наши статьи BIOS: Загрузка с диска и НОУТБУК: Загрузка с диска в BIOS.
Вставили Диск восстановления в дисковод, затем перезагрузились, запускается программа Параметры восстановления системы.
Нажимаем Enter или предложение загрузиться с диска пропадёт.
Происходит загрузка компьютера с Диска восстановления
Средство восстановленияработающее с диска, может попытаться по вашему желанию восстановить запуск Windows 7, нажмите «Далее».
В первую очередь, примените Восстановление запуска (Автоматическое устанение проблем, мешающих запуску Windows)
Во вторую, очередь можно применить «Восстановление системы»
Если ничего не помогает, то можем выбрать, Восстановление образа системы, но образ системы должен быть сделан вами предварительно (смотри начало статьи).
Восстановление компьютера из образа находит последний доступный образ системы, нажимаем далее или указываем другой образ, если он у нас есть.
Далее и Windows 7, восстанавливается из резервной копии.
