![]() I had overwritten the HP files while I was messing around with some other ISO images (pendrive linux distros, and other rescue tools like AVG, Kapersky, Hiren’s boot CD, etc.) ![]() I was finally able to use the DVD created from the ISO to initiate the Windows 7 recovery functions, since I overwrote my HP recovery USB and never got around to write it to my HP USB again. So thanks again to Cheryl for helping me with advice and for downloading the huge ISO file, and making it deliverable for me on my win xp PC since I was not able, due to XP, get the download myself! To get my ISO DVD working, I did not have to go so extreme as some of them did - instead, All that I had to do was change (in the BIOS) the legacy boot order and bring the USB DVD/CD drive that I am using, to the top of the boot order, no disabling of drives was needed. The info I found near the top ranked search results had the critical information. Instead of chasing that path, I decided to go back to the actual error - "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair.". I did not get around to playing with he other tools at the download site for the ei tool like ISO Image Edition Switcher or cversion.ini Removal Utility, but these look like great tools when you need to use them ( ). First I tried some of the tools Windows ISO Disc Image Utilities -, I tried making the “universal” ISO via the ei.cfg Removal Utility, burned the converted Win 7 ISO to a second DVD, which again failed the same way (same error, next paragraph belw). Hi again CherylG, Thanks for the reply and pointers where to go next, but you indeed gave me the right ISO version, The error lies elsewhere - see below.
