Is there anywhere I can download a legal copy of Vista Home 32bit? I have the key but lost my recovery disc.

The only way I know is if you have a valid Microsoft subscription, such as TechNet or MSDN.

Basically, if you don't get it direct from Microsoft website, don't touch it - there's no telling what has happened to the image.

Mind you, Vista is good in that you can use any Vista 32-bit disc and enter your license key, it will install the version you are entitled to. If you have another Vista disc (or can borrow) then it will help you achieve your goal.
