Windows 7 Rescue Disk cannot be created error 0X80070057

[Mychal]

Hello;
I get this error when trying to create a rescue disk from the Backup and Restore app in Control Panel. I know that the disk can be created using recdisc.exe. That is not the issue. Why not from Control Panel?
Second, is this rescue disk failure possibly related to the deletion of the System Reserved Partition?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

7 systemimage etl files plus one wdadmin. Why?

The etl files can be opened with Windows Event Viewer to probably find out what the hell is going on.

Thanks, I will look into this tomorrow.

I checked out the latest etl with event viewer. Personally I see nothing that would cause this parameter error. There is a repeated error that was eliminated by setting the RPC Locator service to automatic; if I zip up the etls and upload them would you please look over them. Thanks in advance.

Due to no reply I am assuming your found little if anything of interest in the etl files.
For my case at least here is what solved the problem. I moved the c:\windows\recovery folder to a flash drive and everything worked perfectly after that. Somehow the contents of that folder was "confusing" the computer.
Thanks for your time. Hopefully this will help someone else.
