This version of System Recovery Options

[pederb]

I need to access the System Recover Options in my Vista 64 Ultimate, but when trying I get message
"This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with this version of Windows you are trying to repair'

WTF

This is the disc I installed from?

Any ideas?

Microsoft had the solution.
CAUSE
This error may occur if you use the 32-bit version of the Windows Vista installation disc to run the Complete PC Restore program on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of Windows Vista. By default, the 64-bit operating system is selected in the list of installed operating systems.

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, on the Select operating system page, select the blank space in the list under the Windows Vista operating system, and then click Next.

I created an account just to post this as I suffered from the same problem. The issue is because the Vista Ultimate DVD contains both a 32-bit and 64-bit copy of Vista. You need to either get an x64 only copy of the DVD, or you can download an x64 recovery disc from Neosmart (link - http://neosmart.net:6969/torrent.html?i ... c5f7eb94b5). With the 64-bit only recovery disc, I was able to boot into the recovery console just fine and resolved my problem.

I realize you have probably resolved this problem by now, but figured I would post this for anyone else who comes across this forum while googling for a solution.
