Question by Mary C: How does Vista Recovery Disk from Neosmart File work?
First of all I know how to use a computer or in my case laptop to do anything that’s not techincial. This site talks about a torrent, ISO and download all this different stuff in order to be able to download the recovery disk from the torrent.

I haven’t a clue what they’re talking about. If anyone knows anything about the process of downloading this torrent can you please give me a step by step example so that I can get my other laptop back up and running?

A torrent is a file sent via the BitTorrent protocol. It can be just about any type of file, such as a movie, song, game, or application. During the transmission, the file is incomplete and therefore is referred to as a torrent. Torrent downloads that have been paused or stopped cannot be opened as regular files, since they do not contain all the necessary data. However, they can often be resumed using a BitTorrent client, as long as the file is available from another server.

Torrents are different from regular downloads in that they are usually downloaded from more than one server at a time. The BitTorrent protocol uses multiple computers to transfer a single file, thereby reducing the bandwidth required by each server. When a torrent download is started, the BitTorrent system locates multiple computers with the file and downloads different parts of the file from each computer. Likewise, when sending a torrent, the server may send the file to multiple computers before it reaches the recipient. The result is a lower average bandwidth usage, which speeds up file transfers.

An ISO image is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc using a conventional ISO (International Organization for Standardization

You can download this disk image in the form of a torrent or you can go to the link below, it is PCWorld. You can download the image through them without having a torrent client. You need a client in order to download a torrent.

The image needs to be burned to a CD or DVD in order to work for you. I would recommend ImgBurn or cdburnerxp. Both are free.

Then whenever you need it you just insert the CD into your computer drive and reboot.

1. Download via file or torrent.
2. Burn the ISO file to a CD.
3. Finished.

Long answer, but I hope it helps a little.
