Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit System Image Problem

by bhkolts . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

I have a new notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit installed on it. It is a factory fresh install. I sold this to a customer with the stipulation I would make a recovery disc for it. I am using Win 7’s System Image to make the recovery disc. The System Image routine fills up one DVD and verifies it. At the end of the verify it gives an error message that the backup media is bad and can not be used. It then asks for another DVD and starts the backup over. This loop continues until I cancel the backup. The DVD burner works fine burning files to CDs, DVD-Rs and DVD-RW. Even the disc system image complains about is readable. Looking at Event Viewer, in the Applications->Backup log, it stated the media was to small for the image use a larger media. Well, I know one DVD is to small, but it should prompt me for another.
I have used System Image with Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit and with Win 7 Pro 64 bit with no problems.
Can any confirm this problem with Home Premium 64 bit and if so did you find a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Barry
