Excellent, this may come in very handy.
This is not a reflection on you, but I don't suppose these are officially supported by Microsoft.
And, why a .torrent file?
It detest torrent programs and the junk they leave behind.
After downloading, I'd suggest everyone to uninstall using RevoUninstaller to get rid if all the files and registry entries (especially if you checked all those boxes during installation:
Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems
What it does: The Windows 7 Recovery Disc can be used to access a system recovery menu, giving you options of using System Restore, Complete PC Backup, automated system repair, and a command-line prompt for manual advanced recovery.
What it doesn't do: You cannot use the Windows 7 Recovery Disc to re-install Windows - it only fixes (not replaces!) Windows.
Why you need it: If you bought your PC from a major retailer, you didn't get this CD with your hefty purchase.
You would be surprised how many will not have any kind of recovery cd when disaster strikes.
Of course you need access to another pc to d/l it.
It is exactly the same with the same with the Vista recovery cd's. Tens of thousands of downloads - they must all be able to get access to another pc.
They are very grateful for it.
I did not burn from recdisc.exe then rip to an ISO; instead I used something known as a virtual CD burner.
