A system repair disk contains a bootable Windows Preinstalled Environment with the tools and data needed to repair your system. (It usually contains a copy of the Registry.)

A 5 DVD set of Recovery disks, has sufficient capacity to hold a copy of a full Windows 7 system. Windows 7 gives you the option of restoring your system completely.

I like the second option better. In my mind, replacing beats fixing.

Of course, replacing also overwrites any personal data stored on the System Volume. If this is a concern, fixing may be the preferred choice.

Using third party tools to make images of your system beats both!

Cheers, PW.

P.S. If your system didn't come with a Windows DVD, head over to Microsoft and download one.
