Note that the script doesn't work if Windows Script Host is disabled.<br>
 <br>  
 We may write a similar script for Windows in the future, but for now, the best option is to download and run <a href="http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html" target="_blank">CPU-Z</a> (requires administator rights).<br>  
 <br>  
 There are two important fields: <b>Instructions</b> and <b>Family</b>. If the <b>Instructions</b> field contains <b>AMD64</b> or <b>EM64T</b>, all editions of <b>Clonezilla-SysRescCD</b> will run and the <b>x86-64</b> one is recommended.<br>  
230  <br>  <br>
231  If both <b>AMD64</b> and <b>EM64T</b> instructions are unsupported, see the number in <b>Family</b> field. If it's at least 4, the <b>i486</b> edition will run. In addition, if the number is 6, the <b>i686</b> edition will run and is recommended.</p>  Either script will immediately tell you which version of <b>Clonezilla-SysRescCD</b> is preferable.</p>

237  <p>BitTorrent is a protocol that is used for sharing files. The most important difference between BitTorrent and direct download is that everybody who downloads a file via BitTorrent also uploads parts of the file while and after downloading it. That is, people who use BitTorrent are actually sharing the file with each other.<br>  <p>BitTorrent is a protocol that is used for sharing files.

270  Luckily, there are better ways to check if the file is OK. Some mathematical functions are able to take any input and create a fixed-length string called checksum or hash. These functions have been designed so that if the input is edited a bit, the resulting hash is completely different.<br>  Luckily, there are better ways to check if the file is OK.

272  The pre-calculated hashes of the files can be found in the main page, next to the download links. The idea is that you're able to use hash calculator software in order to calculate the hash yourself and compare it to the pre-calculated one. If the hashes are different, the file is corrupted and you have to download it again. But if the hashes are identical, it's very unlikely that the file is corrupted. (Because there are finite number of possible hashes and infinite number of possible files, there are multiple files that share the same hash. However, it's very difficult to find out which files have a given hash.)<br>  The pre-calculated hashes of the files can be found next to the download links.
