Bad advice.

For the love of all that is pure and virus free, do not download an iso of Windows from a torrent site - you'll never, ever, be able to feel 100% certain there isn't a rootkit, keylogger, or some other nasty tucked away in there.

I suppose if you knew the MD5 hash of a legit ISO, you could compare, but that's far beyond the scope of the experience level we are dealing with in this thread.
