-We may write a similar script for Windows in the future, but for now, the best option is to download and run CPU-Z (requires administator rights).

-There are two important fields: Instructions and Family. If the Instructions field contains AMD64 or EM64T, all editions of Clonezilla-SysRescCD will run and the x86-64 one is recommended.

If you run Windows, download this script instead and double-click it. Note that the script doesn't work if Windows Script Host is disabled.

-If both AMD64 and EM64T instructions are unsupported, see the number in Family field. If it's at least 4, the i486 edition will run. In addition, if the number is 6, the i686 edition will run and is recommended.

Torrent [^]

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.

Verifying the integrity of the file [^]

If you didn't use BitTorrent to download the file, it might have become corrupted during transfer. Corrupted copy of Clonezilla-SysRescCD may still work, but some functionality may be lost. In any case, it's best to notice corruption before burning the file to the disc.

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.

-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.)

The pre-calculated hashes have been calculated using the MD5 algorithm. It's the most popular hash algorithm around, and there are a lot of MD5 hash calculators available.
