Hello everybody,
This has been a recurring issue for me and I haven't found a solution yet. When I try to make a system repair disk on my Win7 desktop I always get the error code 0x80070057. This is a well-known issue, I read endlessly through posts online from people with the same problem and there didn't seem to be a solution.
But now I think I found one. I read: "If you are unable to boot your Windows 7 to create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc, then you could create it on another computer to use on your computer." Is that correct? That would be the easiest option. Apart from finding someone with a Win7 64 bit pc.
Also, in the meantime, I made a system repair disk using Macrium Reflect Free where they are called rescue media. Does that mean I can leave the error issue with the Windows disk alone? Or does it imply there's something wrong with the files needed?
Just now I found this solution which supposedly works, but wouldn't dare do this without somebody here commenting on it:
command prompt (user) > type
winmgmt /verifyrepository
winmgmt /salvagerepository
if that doesn't work, try
net stop winmgmt
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
ren repository repository.old
net start winmgmt
exitAnybody any comments on this?
Thanks,
Lady
