Ajay Choudhary AJ. My cd rom is not working. I have purchased Windows 7 Starter. This thread is locked. I have a bootable usb rescue disc. Unfortunately when I select restore from image, I get an error message as follows:. To restore this computer, Windows needs to format the drive that the Windows Recovery Environment is currently running on. To continue with the restore, shut down this computer and boot it from a Windows Installation disc or a system repair disc and then tyr the restore again.
The only way I found to restore was to actually create the system rescue disc and boot from the dvd drive. Thanks a lot for your tutorial.. Driver problem maybe? Very kind to them…. Extremely helpful information, especially the total mounter utility. Thanks ton! Let it find the image and click next. Then remove the flash drive. Once it is restored it will reboot. Any repair disk on a DVD will work as a source for needed files as well You just need to get a decent tutorial onlie for making the USB bootable.
Is that expected? Try from the beginning again…. Great work! Thanks a lot. This needs to be a bookmark for all Windows 7 users everywhere. Many thanks to you, man; using Method 2, I got myself a repair disk without having to get a CD burner.
Many thanks. HAL Admin 8 months ago.
