Not at all.

Very nice that the Leak is already on Betaarchive. Good job guys, pretty excited about all the new stuff in there.

Ah god.There it goes.
It reached a torrent site!

IMG Burn broke my DVD. Luckily, I've found another. Time to reburn!

I wonder how you guys get the builds leaked to your site..

is it true that there is X64 leak coming out soon ?

It won't run on VMware Fusion 2.
HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED on first boot.
HELP !

FFS! My new laptop (3 months old) The DVD drive has busted because of IMG burn

It didn't break because of IMG burn, it broke while burning with IMG burn because it was either poorly made series or just a bad drive.

I finally got my hands on the public torrent... the download speed is HORRIBLY slow... (Maybe because i´m not the only one downloading...)

The download is at 0,1%... ETA 3 days... And download speed 9,7kb/s.

Is this build traceable?

I hope they unlock the Metro UI logon soon...

The leaks are happening almost like windows 7... One leak each 2 weeks.

This means the 7971 build COULD leak in May... Let´s see...

Could someone help me? I got an Error message with IMG burn whilst burning first DVD. Then I burned the DVD successfully and My drive is now having difficulties reading discs! My laptop is covered but if it's sent of it takes ages to repair.

Is it all disks or just that one?

Its possible the drive failed. I know my sisters laptop had an issue like that. Check the Device Manager, what you should also do is after burning a disk have it verified to make sure it can READ all the data.

This is probably a better question for the manufacturer's technical support. Try checking google with your drive or laptop's model number to see if other users have similar issues. Again, this is most likely unrelated to the Windows leak, and more related to the drive itself.

Argh! I just tried 7850 and it reads. My drive failed to burn the 7955 ISO twice D<

DVD burning for operating systems should NEVER be done at max speed. Try half speed or even slower to get better results.

Again the disks might be bad. Especially if they are re-writable. An iso is an iso. the files inside the ISO shouldnt make a difference.

They were both brand new DVD-r discs. And I have no more. I bet everyone is going to laugh.

Unfortunate for me D<

Also, consider that your download of 7955 could be corrupt. User the ISO Verifier at http://www.windows8center.com to verify the iso was not corrupted during download.

Nice. Can't wait. Thanx for the prompt reply. This should be hold me off till then. Has one one tired this on MBP ?

Might I suggest that you guys who want to use this as a main OS use a 4 GB Flash drive to do so. Then you wont have to worry about discs and corrupt data.

Also is much faster than discs.

Install to VHD and boot:

Install Automated Installation Kit

Download WIM2VHD

Follow the steps here to boot from the VHD, or use EasyBCD or similar tool.

Hope this helps.

Found a new DVD.... This is definitly my final disc... I'll burn 2x

Thanks for that. Is there a place to download the WIM for the 7955 leak?
