- After the System Repair Disc creation is complete, Windows 7 displays a dialog box that you can close by clicking the Close button.

- Label the disc as "Windows 7 System Repair Disc" and keep it someplace safe.
You can now boot from this disc to access System Recovery Options, the set of system recovery tools available for the Windows 7 operating system.
