Great resource for restore disks possibly free?

[ElementalWindX]

Anyone have a great download resource for restore cd's? One that is preferably free?

I have an emachines piece of junk here that needs the OS reinstalled from like 100+ different viruses. I'll either have to find the .wim file in the restore partition assuming the .wim isn't infected and go that route, or find a restore cd from some place you guys recommend.

Thanks.

Sadly their is no great source of restore discs, their are illegal means of getting them something that you open a magnet link with


Otherwise the manufacturer, some vendors sell the discs, ebay or amazon. For win 7 you can go to digital river and download isos for vista same thing but download wims

Kinda ****** they don't allow you to get something for free you've already bought (but were too stupid to make when it prompted you to).

I think the real problem lays in the fact that the "Recovery Media" is a partition on the hard drive and not a CD. That, kind sir, is where the stupidity is.

^ Yea I've used that in the past. Just trying to find a faster way to do this. I hate holding onto computers for software to come in the mail.

Become an authorized service center for manufacturers you can then request disc libraries from them

It works just fine for emachines, but your missing all the bloat.

Wow! I've been looking for this for such a long time. I already had a 32-bit installer, but have needed a 64-bit installer forever. And because I just couldn't figure out what to search for (proper phrase).....well I'm glad this topic came up. Just another excellent reason to be part of this community.
