My mistake - when I read "The guy seems to want me to pay $4 for any of 
his downloads" I assumed I was reading something further down the thread 
from this message of yours:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2012-January/032833.html

That does contain a link to neosmart, which no longer provides free 
downloads of their windows recovery CD.

Apologies for any confusion.
