So you want to know how to make a recovery disk of your os. If i'm not get you wrong， here is how: 1. Go to Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Windows 7 File Recovery 2. On the left side of this Windows 7 file recovery window, click on “Create a system image” and then you’ll be asked “where do you want to save the backup?” Select DVD.  3. Click Next button to proceed. Then it’s time for you to choose which drive you want to be back up. Choose the system drive letter and click Next. 4. Click on Start backup and the process begins You can try and find if this will work.
I have a 15R SE 7520 laptop and I have been trying to create my dvd recovery disks. Unfortunately, I did not do this before upgrading to 8.1 so I am not sure if this is the issue. By the time I get to the third disk I get an error and it will not let me continue. I have ruined several disks and at this point I am not sure what to do. According to dell, I'm just supposed to hit the ok button and continue but the system does not let me. Does anyone have any suggestion on what I should do?  Thanks
