Following sorting out post #13 I tried today to make a Win7 USB boot drive. Firstly the M$ 'USB Download Tool' is bugged and does not install the ISO on the drive. Great! Finally cracked that and got a bootable USB. BUT same problem again as post #13 when I tried 'Repair' - "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible.. blah blah blah"
Has anyone on here produced a working USB boot drive for Win7 that will allow repair? If so, what is the secret?
