Longhorn 4011 ISO in the FTP is broken (this has been already confirmed to me: viewtopic.php?p=277446#p277446 ).

Has somebody still the working ISO? Could he upload it?

Can you not fix the ISO image yourself? It's fairly easy to do. viewtopic.php?t=13440

For all the obsessive care that goes into the FTP you'd think that this would have been fixed by now. Weird. Ah well.

Sorry, I explained badly. I know that 4011 and 4015 ISOs can't install themselves. I've just fixed the 4015 ISO successfully, by copying the .wim file into the 4008 ISO.

The problem is that I can't install Longhorn 4011 because the MD5 checksum of the ISO file in the FTP is wrong, so also the .wim file in the 4011 ISO is corrupted.

Finally I could find the original 4011 ISO along the working wim. It can be downloaded from:

http://www.multiupload.com/J5135CU2MI

Solved.

If nobody tells mrpijey, nothing will be done to fix it. He doesn't have time to scan every topic on the forum for people reporting broken files.

It's unlikely the contents is broken, if it is then it was like that in the original archive. If the archive is broken then you can repair it.

use Pwned's Longhorn Packet 1.0, it works with Longhorn builds (dunno with 5048 and later)

This morning I sent a PM to mrpijey, but he hasn't answered yet so far.


I downloaded it twice from the FTP, and twice I got an ISO file with the following MD5 checksum: 82ab0fa174ed2de327dce1083dbbb336
I also tried this one from WinWorld (now the server is down), but it has the same wrong MD5 checksum.
Finally, the user Coppermine helped me and uploaded to MegaUpload a file that, he told me, comes from his personal archive. Its MD5 checksum matches perfectly the one that previously Pwned had told me here, that is: 4d1a03c7e724e6b5bd4ff5d7b8dcc119
So I believe that the file from the FTP is actually broken.
(Moreover the WinPE in the ISO from MegaUpload is broken, exactly as in the original one.)


Unfortunately my Internet connection is too slow, so I can't upload too big files.


There was a misunderstanding: I don't mean that it can't install itself because the WinPE is broken (that is normal), but I mean that, besides the WinPE, the WIM file is broken too. I already tried Pwned's Longhorn Packet, see here.

Broken archives can be repaired using the WinRAR function, you don't need to upload anything. Inside WinRAR, find the file, right click it and select repair. However if it's corrupt with the same checksum both times then it might be broken on the server. You'll have to wait for mrpijey to reply.

That's completely understandable. Be patient.



I think Andy meant you can repair the archive for your own personal use.

EDIT: Lol, Andy posted while I was still typing...

Ah ok, I understood badly what you told me! Sorry but I'm not English!
No, the compressed archive from the FTP can be extracted successfully without repairing, but strangely the extracted file hasn't the correct checksum.

I've just re-uploaded the Longhorn 4011's WIM file:

cassiodoroVicinetti, I don't know what you did with these files, but I have no idea how to unpack those. You uploaded it to the FTP as well, but it's in the same weird format. It doesn't work by merging the parts or unpacking it. What exactly did you use to make these?

Unfortunately, when I tried to unpack them myself, it turned out that the archive itself was corrupt. For that reason, I think that a whole archive would be much better, since it has less chance of being damaged (in my opinion, anyway).

They can be unpacked by ZipGenius. Sorry, I didn't know that it was a proprietary format.



Do MD5 checksums match? Anyway, I will not use this format anymore.

EDIT: Now I'm realizing that WinRar is unable to open multi-spanned archives from ZipGenius. Sorry again.
