Not an option, as far as I can tell. I have a system disk and I have
managed to get to the point where I could install the system, but I
didn't want to do that! I have not found any way to use it as a live
CD.

As far as the disk is concerned, it is in a new machine. It is the original
disk with Debian 7.3. A chip on the motherboard failed: the board, CPU and
power supply have been replaced and a SSD with Debian 11.1.0 added. I
just need to fix the old disk so it will work with the new system. Problem
is doing that without risking any damage to the new system.
I suppose if I get short of space, I could format the old disk. I think
there is just one file it would be useful to retrieve, but I can manage
without it.
