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 :-)

"It's our best OS ever"

SuperPI runs faster on Win7, than W8/W10/W11.
And of the lot, W10 is the worst (slowest) at it.
Presumably at the moment, that's on purpose.
