I came across that when hunting for the elusive discs. The Samsung rep on the phone told me that I should ask a retailer for 'Samsung Recovery disc' and they would be on sale wherever a Samsung product is sold.
Made it sound like it was a manufacturer disc - like this one
and not one made by the retailer to be sold to customers. I can see why Comet made them and I can see why Microsoft got mad.
With my hindsight 20/20 vision it would have been helpful if someone told me at purchase 'Oh by the way, you won't be able to get a recovery disc from Samsung and we're not allowed to make one for you so create an image etc...'
It is unlikley that they would have that conversation when you're about to spend several hundred pounds on something lol
I'm sure Comet will survive on their worthless extended warranties now they can't make a few quid on the dodgy disks
