Are Win7 32bit & 64bit System Repair Disks The Same

I Created a system rescue disk from a PC with Win7 Ultimate 32 bit.

Will this disk work with 64 bit machines & Win 7 Pro/home versions?

No, the repair disk replaces bad system files, which are different in 32 and 64 bit systems...

Otherwise they'd just have "The Rescue Disk"

So, If I have just two rescue disks (32+64), will they do for all versions of win7?
NO. the system files, just the kernel files that differentiate 32-bit or 64-bit, are for different processor architecture, hence can't be mixed up.
