Users may have noticed how the use of the Advanced Repair menu with Windows 7 and Vista to run tools for logs and scripts to be able to break an infection down and this allows Windows to load hopefully without the malware causing problems and so allowing tools to run and finish the checks and cleanup.
Some Systems appear not to have the Advanced Repair menu available on boot or not a fully featured menu.
Users may like to do below before any need to have one, and put the disc away for safe keeping in future, you never know.
Creating a System Repair Disc in Win 7 / Vista (Vista needs Service Pack 1 installed)
Type system repair disc into the search box in the Start menu. Select "Create a System Repair Disc"
The dialog box opens where you select the right drive and click Create disc. A CD will be fine as it only takes up 142 - 150MB of space.
Now you have a Disc to use in the future
How to use the Disc
If you are having problems with your machine just pop in the recovery disc and boot from it and enter into Windows Setup [EMS Enabled].
After it boots up you can access recovery tools or restore the computer back to a system image Which is like the Boot version I ask users to go into. It will list already installed Operating Systems to choose from for you to select from.
Now you can choose from different recovery options to help you get your machine back up and running, Including if a PC Tech asks for one over the internet or phone.
You never know when an Operating System Problem may arise due to infection or corrupt files etc., but having a System Recovery Disc to boot from is good to have handy somewhere
