L755-S5244 - W7 system repair disc could not be created... unable to parse... XML data. (0x800705B9)

After creating a backup image of my W7 Toshiba laptop OK, the last step was the option to create a system repair disc. However that returned the following error:
System repair disc could not be created
Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.
(0x800705B9)
Note this is *not* the same as "system recovery discs"! I already have a set of those discs which work OK.. What I need is a system repair disc which allows booting into special recovery mode to repair W7, to restore a backup image, etc.
Note that my computer is working fine. I just need to be able to make a system repair disc in case there are future problems. There always are, eventually.
In googling this problem, there are many reports of this error but no clear solution. Some of the reported fixes refer to microsoft help/support/social/technet links which no longer exist. I tried one of those suggestions, SFC /SCANNOW, which didn't find any system file errors on my computer. So that's not the cause.
It may have something to do with the OEM W7 version which Toshiba puts on its laptops such as my L755-S5244(?). It's possible that Toshiba has intentionally or accidentally disabled the normal commands to make a system repair disc in W7. Does anybody know for sure?
Thanks.

I did a fair amount of goggling and reading, then... I tried 3 different downloadable boot disks from maximumpcguides.com, spirebyte, and mydigitallife.info. They all work exactly the same. When booting from one of those discs, there are 5 options offered. I had to make text notes (below) because there's no way to make screen images in repair mode.
1) Startup Repair - apparently works OK, at least it went through the process and found no errors. That's as it should be, because this computer is working fine! My only objective here is to find out what can be done someday when it malfunctions, as all computers do eventually..
2) System Restore - doesn't work
big red X: "To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore." That makes no sense because I only have one Windows installation! This is an important option. Is there any way to access it when Windows 7 won't start normally?
3) System Image Recovery - It found the image file I had created previously. But I didn't want to risk it on a properly functioning computer (no reason). So I don't know if it will actually work right... someday when I really need it.
4) Windows Memory Diagnostic - doesn't work
"Windows cannot check for memory problems. An error is preventing Windows from checking for memory problems during startup. To run the Windows Memory Diagnostic manually, boot the computer from the Windows installation disc, and then select Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager menu." However there is no such thing as a Windows installation disc on Toshiba OEM W7. Or is there? Also, I can get to Windows Boot Manager by pressing f8 during startup then select Repair Your Computer, but it won't do anything. Again, it requests the Windows installation disc, which I don't have. Then at the end of all the verbiage... "... Status 0xc000000e; Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." It would be nice to run a good memory diagnostic because I just upgraded from 4G to 8G RAM. Suggestions?
5) Command Prompt - apparently works OK, at least it listed the directory when I entered "dir".
I feel that chances would be better if I could somehow get this W7 Toshiba laptop to make its own system repair disc, which goes full circle back to my original query... Can it be fixed to avoid the parse XML data error?

EliteBook 8570w System Repair Disc Windows 7

Hi all,
I wanted to make a System Repair Disc of Windows on my Elitebook 8570w. This was fairly easy as Hp has a programme called Hp Recovery Disc Creator which does this for you. It gives you one opportunity to burn a Windows Disc and a Driver Disc. What HP calls the Windows Disc is the System Repair Disc.
Now, my problem is that the Windows Disc does not function properly (no idea why). When booting from the DVD the screen keeps stuck at Windows is loading files... Also when I try to run the setup file from the DVD I get error messages that say "F:\Sources\autorun.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." and after that "The file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]" Because I only got one shot at making the disc I can't simply make another DVD.
Then, I tried to let Windows make the System Repair Disc by itself (using Create a System Repair Disc). However, I get another error message: "The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057). Some people suggest that HP Recovery Disc Creator has "hijacked" Window's "Create a System Repair Disc" function and that's what is causing the problem. So HP does not give me a second try and it prevents Windows from giving me a second try as well! So, maybe deleting HP Recovery Disc Creator would work. However, it does not list in Programmes and Features and I can't find an uninstall file in its directory.
When trying to find a solution I came across a guide to create a bootable Windows 7 Installation USB drive (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html). It involves copying the files from the installation disc to the USB. Step 21 details the files that are on this installation disc. They are the same as on my System Repair Disc.
So would downloading an image of the installation disc be the same as downloading an image of the System Repair Disc? (I'm downloading a file atm but not sure if it makes sence) If not, are there any other options to create a new System Repair Disc? Maybe by somehow uninstalling HP Recovery Disc Creator or by tricking it into thinking I have not yet tried to make a Windows Disc? Or can I download an image of the System Repair disc somewhere online (most links I have found are dead)?
Please let me know if any additional information is needed! Thanks in advance!
Michael
TLDR: burned a system repair disc, disc is not working properly, HP and Windows won't let me try to burn again. Other options?
This question was solved.

Hi:
You can probably make an ISO file of the version of W7 Pro that you need from the link below.
Use one of the SP1 Media Refresh files.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Use the W7 Pro product key from the bottom of the notebook to activate the installation.
Use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive or DVD. The tool will also make the file bootable.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Your other option would be to order a set of W7 recovery disks for your PC, by contacting HP for the country you live in at the link below.

The installer disc could not be found bootcamp mountain lion

Hi,
Got a small problem when i'm trying to install Windows 7 (Downloaded from MSDN) Dual boot is giving me an error message 'the installer disc could not be found bootcamp mountain lion'
I burned two DVD-r's
1.
http://cl.ly/image/0u3M3m1m3V0B
2.
http://cl.ly/image/093C2V2b1N07
Both of the disc's are not working in DUALBOOT
System info:
Macbook PRO 13'' - late 2011
2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Windows XP and Windows Vista are not supported, you must use Windows 7 Home or Professional. You must also burn the DVD at the lowest possible speed.

Problem - the drop down box says . . . The installer disc could not be found.

On my MacBook with Lion, I am attempting to create a partition and then install Windows XP Professional with service pk 2. I have successfully downloaded the Windows support from Apple to my extenal flash drive with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. However, when I go to the next step - Create a Partition for Windows - and insert the XP disk and click Install after the icon is shown on my desktop, I get a dropdown that says . . . The installer disc could not be found. Help!

Do you have a bootable Windows installer disc? If you are using Boot Camp 4.0 with your Lion system, you can only install Windows Vista or Win7, but not XP.

Boot Camp "The installer disc could not be found"

Hi,
So i'm attempting to load win7 onto my MAC. Thus far i have downloaded the .iso image off MSDN (throught my university, for all intents and purposes should be as legitimate as an off the shelf copy) and burned it to DVD as a bootable disc image. however for some reason when using Boot Camp im told "The installer disc could not be found"
There is data on the disc however when i go into the disc via finder it appears empty (no icons)... even though it is not (get info > xyzMB used)...
I know most people use parallels etc but if anyone has successfully accomplished a win7 install and knows where im going wrong it would be greatly appreciated... thanks

Windows won't start and can't get system repair disc to run

I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and suddenly windows will not load up and start. I did get to safe mode and saw some windows files load up but safe mode doesn't really open up windows where I can do anything. I have a System Repair Disc and the System Recovery discs I can run but I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?

After you have loaded the repair disc, shut down the computer. Then power it up and press F12 to reach the boot-priority menu. Select the optical drive there.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
If you can't boot from the repair disc, there's something wrong with the hardware, the BIOS, or the disc.

"This disc could not be verified" error when burning CDs

Every time I try to run the CD Burner, the disk seems to finalize then I get this error message:
*This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063).*
I have tried with many blank disks and different data (text files, music files, etc). The CDs I am using are blank Memorex CD-RWs.
This machine is using a Matshita DVD-R UJ-845, here's the rest of the info from the System Profiler if it helps:

What can I do to get my CD burner working?

All good suggestions...thanks to all of you weighing in. I have had no issues buring DVDs or CDs (7 months) until this week and am a bit puzzled. Since this verify issue popped up, I've tried buring data from various sources and had some success. As such, I suspect it's not a hardware problem.
I was able to review 1500 JPEGS burned to 1 DVD one-by-one until I found the single file that was an issue. I did this on an XP machine and got a 'cyclic redundancy' error which leads me to believe that I've got a software problem tied to a recent update.
That file is not corrupted at the source and can be copied individually without issue. I've varied burn speeds, media types, file types and data sources and have not been able to identify why 3 of 11 have worked.
The first DVD I burned using dic utility at 4x worked. I felt good that I had a workaround to burning via finder but 3 subsequent attempts with disc utility have failed, too.

HT1449 Help! This all runs quite smoothly until i get to 'consolidate library'. Then, tracks start copying, then stop followed by a pop up saying 'Copying files failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.' Any suggestions? Thank you!

I had similar problems, it was a nightmare and on a 3 month ipod too!. I use a Powerbook G4 at home and a G5 at work - both were returning the same problems. so I sent it off to apple, they quickly sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with and it didn't need to be repaired. I tried it again and the same problems occurred "disc cannot be written to or read from." I could copy 20 songs onto it at the very most. A couple of guys at my work suggested updating it on a PC, then adding tunes via my mac as normal - guess what!? it works a treat!?. How ridiculous is that!? an Apple product works best on a PC. these generations of ipods are obviously designed to work best on Intel based Macs. What is wrong Apple? are you abandoning the G-generation!? still, atleast my ipod works for now - it will prove a problem when I have to update the iPod's software since I don't own a PC or an intel-based Mac.

Disc could not be partitioned

I'm trying to install windows through bootcamp, but get this error message when trying to partitionate the startupdisc

it's in norwegian, but this is in english:"Disc could not be partitioned"

I have a backup, sloved it by repairing my startupdisc
Right first step is to repair your startup disk booted from the (hold command/apple r and boot) RecoveryHD or the (hold c and boot) 10.6 install disk.
You reboot again normally again and if you have a hard drive as boot, then head to Disk Utlity in the Utilities folder and use the Erase Free Space option Zero on the boot drive (no not zero erase from anyplace else) and this will "fix" bad sector issues that might be preventing the drive from formatting.
Quit and try BootCamp again to format and if it says "can't move files..." then see this.
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

Hi I'm new to this forum and I haven't seen the proper place to post some thing like this. I'm going to post it here and staff can do what they wish with it.
I can't understand why people aren't creating a System Repair Disc to Restore Windows 7. This is the best tool you can have. I have seen a ton of people posting here that can't boot into Windows 7. No mention of a repair Disc. Can you people not read?? This should be one of the first things to do after creating System Recovery Media(Mine requires 5DVD's).

Error:the ipod cannot be updated. the disc could not be read from or writte

May sound silly I am sorry, new to this. Just got an ipod shuffle and have gone through all troubleshooting suggestions ie: restore ipod, reinstall software etc. Am getting an error: "The ipod "administrator's ipod" cannot be updated. The disc could not be read from or written to". This occurs when I click and drag a playlist from the source section to my ipod in the source section. Getting a wee bit discouraged by reading all the problems associated with this ipod and am hoping for an easy fix to slide past further frustration. Please help. Thank you muchly.

Go to the iPod Shuffle Support Page, look around in there, and follow the troubleshooting steps in the article entitled "Can't be written to" or words to that effect.

I tunes: when trying to burn a playlist I keep getting the message: the attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to. I am using version 12

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

Boot Camp Assistant "Windows 7 Installer disc could not be found"

I'm attempting to Boot Camp a partition on my MacBook Pro Retina (13", early 2013) and it's not working. I purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit DVD and i'm accessing it through the optical drive on my desktop iMac. So far so good; MBP shows the disc on its desktop through remote disc sharing. The USB drive with downloaded Windows drivers is in place.
However, Boot Camp Assistant won't recognize the Windows 7 DVD, even though it's right on the desktop (remotely). There is a dialog box and it says "Installer disc could not be found .. wait a few seconds"
And that's it. Nothing further happens.
Help! I hate Windows! Why am I doing this??

Lightwave wrote:
Thank you! I bought Windows 7 on a physical DVD (it's the Home Premium 64bit disc). Hope that was the right thing to do?
Yes.
So let me get this straight. I can either use this DVD directly on a superdrive plugged in to MBP, or else burn a copy to the USB stick.
MBP will not install from an external SuperDrive due to Windows installer limitations, because it has no driver for the SuperDrive.
How exactly do I do the latter since my own DVD reader right now is by remote disc on my iMac?
Create an ISO using the following procedure on the iMac and then copy it over the network to the MBP or create an ISO by attaching the SuperDrive to the MBP. Use Bootcamp Assistant to point to this ISO when creating the USB for installation.
From Disk Utility 12.x: Duplicate a disk, CD, or DVD
Step 7 will give you an ISO, that you can then copy to the MBP.
Duplicate a CD-RW or DVD-RW
Disk Utility can’t create usable copies of discs with an incompatible format or discs that are copy-protected. (These include most commercial movie DVDs and audio CDs and some software and data discs.) To copy music from an audio CD to another CD, use iTunes, not Disk Utility.
To burn a disc, you need an optical drive in your computer or connected directly to your computer. You can’t burn a disc using a remote optical drive.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in the list at the left.
Choose File > New > “Disk Image from [disc name].”
Type a name for the disk image.
Choose an option from the Image Format pop-up menu.
Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image.
Choose “read-only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.
Click Save.
After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.
Select the disk image in the list at the left, and choose Images > Burn.
When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.
You can continue using the disk image to create as many duplicate discs as you need.
