I can successfully create the rescue disk from the repair screen on an install disk using the recdisc.exe app. Why not from within Windows itself? Many Thanks

I can recreate the partition but have not found which files should be copied to it so that when made active windows will boot correctly. What do you think? Does it make sense that win cp would look to the system reserved partition for creating a rescue disk but yet when creating one from the command prompt using a different rescue disc the recdisc.exe works fine??

The only thing that I can think of off-hand is that running it via WCP, there may be added parameters that for some reason hinder successful creation of a repair disc.

Once that is done the repair disc creation completes as expected.
