Microsoft intends to enable the creation of custom Windows 7 or Vista repair discs with the release of Service Pack 1, anticipated within a month. However, for those seeking an immediate solution, Neosmart has developed a Windows 7 or Vista Repair Disc available for download. Please note that these discs are no longer offered free of charge.

The downloadable file is provided as an ISO image. If you possess familiarity with ISO files, you may proceed directly to the download link. Otherwise, instructions for creating a CD from the ISO file are also included.
