Please read this first as I have since removed the original Repair Disk links to the files due to a that I received. See link above to download a full Windows 7 DVD that will do the same job.
Aug 21, 2018 - Windows 7 users can also create a System Repair Disc to boot into Windows RE. While Windows is running, use free WhoCrashed for determining BSOD (Blue. Download ISO for the 32-bit or 64-bit hardware architecture.
Bear in mind that the download is bigger (max 3.1GB for Win 7 Ultimate x64) Last year I received a DMCA take down notice via Microsoft’s Anti-Piracy department for one of the Recovery Disks that I had uploaded to Mediafire. This was for the Windows 7 32bit Repair Disk.ISO. I complied with their request, but left the mirrored links on Rapidshare. I spoke to their Senior Program Manager for Online Piracy Peter Anaman, who I have to say was very courteous and understanding as to why I created the disks. Here is a snippet of the emails discussing the notice: Hi Peter.
Thank you for your message and bringing the present matter to our attention. I believe that your message is reference to the file that was entitled “Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc.iso” and was located at The file in question contains Microsoft copyrighted code and is not authorized for redistribution in the manner detected and for this reason, action was taken to have the file removed. You are correct that Microsoft authorizes genuine customers to create their own system images and instructions on creating these are contained in the documentation found within the operating systems help files as well as several online resources such as. As you may appreciate Microsoft offers operating systems that work on numerous hardware configurations and each of these, require specific drivers as well as configurations. In light of this, it is advisable for a user to create their own system image to better reflect their configuration rather than using a standard image that may not be appropriate for the system in question. We would encourage you to direct your readers to these instructions. Can you please tell me who you contacted and what was asked as I may be able to assist you?
We thank you for your understanding in advance! Kind regards, Peter So as you can see, I wasn’t threatened in any way with criminal proceedings, but after a lot of thought have decided to remove the allegedly infringing links. It also appears that Microsoft’s anti-piracy team are still confused between what a Repair Disk is and a System Image disk (which they linked to in their reply) I firmly believe that these disks should be made available by Microsoft on their servers for ease of access, as they give the user the ability to freely create them, but as you can imagine, most people either don’t realise this or don’t bother. I also believe that the PC manufactures are also very much to blame in the fact that they do not supply the full installation disk (90% of the time) with the computer that the user purchased.
You can still download these disks, but at a small cost via who were the first people to make these disks freely available. However, they too were contacted by Microsoft’s Anti-Piracy department and asked not to link to the file.
It is for that reason that they now have a licence via Microsoft to sell the disks. The price of the disks are $9.75 (£6.21) for (32bit and 64bit). The reason for the costs is simply for the bandwidth and hosting of the files. If you don’t want to pay for a Windows Repair Disk then you can always of your choice freely and legally from Microsoft’s Tech Bench, which will work the same as a repair disk. Instruction on how to use a Repair Disk are below: Once again, I am sorry that I have had to remove the links to the disks, and have put off doing so for a while as I know just how much they can help. If you are having issues where you require one, either use the link to Neosmart above to purchase one, or simply find a machine running the same version of windows as you are running (remember to check to see if it’s 32bit or 64bit OS). Sorry if this has caused an inconvenience and, should you have any questions please comment below.
———————————————————————- Having a Repair or Recovery disk for Vista or Windows 7 can be a lifesaver when it comes to an issue with your computer running either of these Operating Systems if they refuse to boot. The trouble is, even though Microsoft have now given the user the ability to, most people won’t bother, and will instead rely on the Windows Installation Disk that they bought.
