Yes. Something seems to be wrong with that, not so much the image. Seems like it isn't erasing when it re-images the drive. Clear the MBR and it will likely as not fix your issue.

Problem being, you have no Operating System, and hence you can't grab a file or burn it to a CD!

Hmmmm, never tried this, BUT, if you have a valid licence (you have it stuck to the case) can you ring Microsoft and get a CD/DVD of the Operating System? Just the disk with no licence? At the end of the day you have paid for it. They really should give the disk as well when they do this, I have no idea why they don't.

Of course you have a PC running, you are downloading the OS, you just said, sorry I am being a dope. Do a Google on something to erase the MBR (Master Boot Record) and see if that stops you problem.
