System Repair Disc Not working
SYSTEM REPAIR DISC 6/2015
NOTE: My C: drive is a 256 GB SSD.
I made a System Repair Disc on a new blank DVD-RW in accordance with instructions. I then tested it (in case I needed it). It did not produce a list of tools to repair the machine which is what I believe is the purpose of the disc. Nothing helped.
It has 4 files: boot, efi, sources, bootmgr.efi
I started the computer three times with the disc in the tray, each time rapidly pressing a key before the GIGABYTE initial screen appeared. Here are the results:
DELETE KEY
Black and white screen with two offerings :
Windows 7 Boot manager,
A memory check. I chose the latter and a long memory check was carried out, result successful. I booted Windows.
------------------------------------------------------
F12 KEY
Black and white screen offering:
Please select boot device [7 offered]:
P4: TSSTCORP CDDV SH-224DB
Generic Storage Device 0_00
P1: ST10000DM003-1ER162
P0: Crucial_CT256MX100SSDI
Windows Boot Manager (P0: Crucial_CT256MX100SSDI
UEFI: Test corp CDDVDW SH-224DB
Enter Setup
On earlier tests I had chosen each of the first 6 but got no selection of repair tools.
This time I chose Enter Setup:
A Multicoloured screen with:
GIGABYTE UEFI BIOS
MIT System Info BIOS Features Peripherals Power Management Save and Exit
When clicked on, each produced a screen full of settings etc. I exited without saving. Windows started normally
----------------------------------------------------------
F8 KEY
Windows started normally.
Is my System Repair Disc working as it should? If so, what use is it? If not, what can I do?
Thanks.
