Actually, come to think of it, you might have an
ISO file around already which is close to this size.

GSP1RMCPRXFREO_EN_DVD_X17-58517.ISO 3,320,903,680 bytes

If you could find a virtual ISO mounter, you could
run "setup.exe" off that and do a Repair Install.

We had a discussion about this before, of adding ISO
mounting to a machine that didn't have it (Win7).

So if you had a Win7 ISO, you wouldn't even need to burn
a disc, and could do a Repair Install on the "Not Genuine"
hard drive.

You would bring a copy of the OSFMount software over
to the Win7 problem machine.

You use the OSFMount, open the ISO file with it, and
a new "virtual optical drive" appears on your desktop.
Run setup.exe off it, to do a Repair Install to a
running OS.
