My Windows 7 repair disc will not boot into the repair screen.
I have a Windows 7 64-bit desktop. I don't use it much, and it's been working fine for years.
I just created a Windows 7 64-bit repair disk (CD), using this machine.
Control Panel>Backup and Restore>Create a system repair disc
The disc was successfully created.
The disc's contents are:
boot
bcd
boot.sdi
bootfix.bin
sources
boot.wim
bootmgr
When I tested the disc by booting from it (F12 boot menu), it did not
bring up the repair screen; it booted normally into the Windows 7 OS. I tried many times, but no luck booting into the repair CD.
(I did try a Windows 10 recovery USB, and it did boot into the Windows
10 recovery program.)
Any ideas?
TIA

It was my mistake. When I selected the CD drive as the boot drive, I
missed tne next screen "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD drive". This time I didn't missed and pressed any key, and up came the "System Recovery Options".
Startup Repair
System Restore
System Image Recovery
Windows Memory Diagnostic
Commanp Prompt
Wow. That screen looks ancient.
I appologize for the wild goose chase.

Well, you're doing your part to keep the Win7 statistics alive :-)
