    All sorted now thanks

    Looking for this last one. label will be:
    As far as I can find out, SHA1 hash is:
    There is a W2ASEL_EN, that's the Select version, have that already

    thanks for any help

    Have you found it yet?
    I think I may have it.

    Hmm, perhaps a mod could move this into server section?

    If you already have the select edition (W2ASEL_EN with SHA1 of 844f248d371be8bb51039610f0418daf60c1ee47), then you can produce the retail edition with the help of a small diff.

    1.) Get xdelta from
    Code:
    code. google. com/p/xdelta/downloads/detail?name=xdelta3.0z.x86-32.exe&can=2&q=
    (remove spaces from link)
    2.) Get SEL2FPP.delta from the attached zip file.
    3.) Place the ISO image of the select edition mentioned above somewhere you can access it (I assume it is called W2ASEL_EN.iso, but any name will do).
    4.) Generate the retail edition by applying the delta (a file called W2AFPP_EN.iso will be generated):
    Code:
    xdelta3.0z.x86-32.exe decode -s W2ASEL_EN.iso SEL2FPP.delta
    That should do it ...

    That was almost to easy, many thanks. :D

    Never heard of that xdelta. There was another program which did similar things, as in change one ISO into another, but don't recall name.

    These are the 6 I have now:

    73060bab874ab6068016a83daa883fda7fcad3bd *W2AFPP_EN.ISO
    844f248d371be8bb51039610f0418daf60c1ee47 *W2ASEL_EN.ISO
    d183812d681126789358bf3cccec98194b22f67c *W2PFPP_EN.ISO
    d27ef2d12c64e0c660304499c2cf0ed8130ddd11 *W2PSEL_EN.ISO
    0e5986b46e60a94b39efab6e3f3967fcc907e146 *W2SFPP_EN.ISO
    84c321dcc18d316d0fbaf813c9a09349d0b27e4d *W2SSEL_EN.ISO

    However, I have come across this list:

    en_win2000_advsrv.iso OJAMAJOxI1 425,078,784 73060bab874ab6068016a83daa883fda7fcad3bd

    en_win2000_server.iso OJAMAJOxI1 423,755,776 0e5986b46e60a94b39efab6e3f3967fcc907e146

    It seems my W2PSEL_EN.ISO is a different hash.

    Do you have the PRO SEL as well, would be interested if you could confirm either checksum.

    Once again, really appreciate your help in getting this last elusive ISO :worthy:

    xdelta is a generic diff tool, implementing the VCDIFF standard, i.e. it's not limited to ISOs. Pretty useful. :)

    The SHA1 of my W2PSEL_EN is the same as yours. I also wondered about the hash mismatch and compared the image to W2PFPP_EN on a binary level. They are almost identical (as expected). The only differences are:
    • image name
    • ExclCRC/AutoCRC values
    • boot disk image names and access stamps
    • setupp.ini

    The differences are exactly the same that also appear when comparing the other editions (e.g. W2SSEL_EN vs. W2SFPP_EN)

    The list you mentioned also sometimes names the AutoCRC value of the image, 0x903e4188. That one is identical to that stored in our image and is valid. While it is possible to fake the AutoCRC value, it is quite unlikely that this has happened here.

    There are actually only 43 bytes that might have been tampered with, and all of them are in rather insignificant places (12 in the access stamps of the boot disk images and 31 in the ExtraData key in setupp.ini).

    I assume that the hash value in the list is either simply wrong or there were some empty sectors at the end of the image when the hash was calculated.

    Thanks MaJo24

    I was thinking a bit the same, that there probably was zeros after the true image.
    Guess we'll call the top list the right one.

    I have checked Pro SEL against a 200GB torrent with allot of MS images, and it did come up a 100%

    Yes xdelta is a neat tool, I think the other one I have used for ISO changing was PPF-O-Matic.
    I have to read up on xdelta, as in how to use it.

    The access stamp in boot images as you call them, I assume that's the sectors just before the name? Have been wondering what that was.
    I have been trying to change my 3 2000 SP4 FPP to SEL, but that is the one thing I can't figure out. Other than that it's quite simple to remake SP4 with the right CDIMAGE.

    Do you know what program MS uses to make their boot floppies?

    Thanks again for your time.

    You're welcome!

    I never found any seeds for that 200 GB torrent. Could you download from it?

    Yes, I referred to the four bytes right before the labels. The name "access stamps" was a bit misleading, though. Actually, these are the volume serial numbers. As such, they can be basically arbitrary data. I only noticed that they were in an ascending order, and thus I assumed that a timestamp was used to generate them. I don't see any clear pattern, though, so we'll most likely not be able to reproduce them.

    I don't know which program Microsoft used to generate the floppy images (if any at all).

    Do you have reliable checksums for ZRM*SEL_EN images? I've got a ZRMPSEL_EN, but I could never verify it (SHA1 1708c8ad3c33e8ae94a06b977d23929c9ba05681 / MD5 0b19b2a88abddc20425cafe973fdb38e).

    Nope, don't think I ever got a single byte from that torrent, just tested my completed images against it.

    I don't have any check sums for the SP4 SEL's. I found one image once, but CRC was not even FFF... so deleted it straight away.

    The 200Gb torrent has this in it, you tried to run yours against, byte sizes are correct. No Advanced though.

    EN_WIN2000_SRV_SP4_SEL[ZRMSSEL_EN].iso
    EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4_SEL[ZRMPSEL_EN].ISO

    Does your floppy images in your SEL have the correct volume label?
    If so, do you mind upping them and the setupp.ini, then I'll see if I can recreate your checksum with CDIMAGE.

    I'm sort of leaning towards MS having a command line program as CDIMAGE to make floppy images. Maybe they have some unknown switches in CDIMAGE.

    I just grabbed the faulty ISO again, it's the ZRMPSEL_EN.

    I compared it to the FPP and there was an error in the top, some data where it was supposed to be blank.
    Used the boot floppy images and setupp.ini with files from FPP and got:

    File: ZRMPSEL_EN.ISO
    CRC-32: ffffffff
    MD4: 3e1d9f9b6b873eb03fc57fa9e99609ed
    MD5: 0b19b2a88abddc20425cafe973fdb38e
    SHA-1: bc5420519edcef165232568de6e697f3271938cb

    That matches 100% with the 200Gb torrent.

    Also, if I blank out the errors in the downloaded ISO, I end up with same hash as my homemade one.

    Seems like our ZRMPSEL_EN images are identical, then. I can't remember where I got mine, but I compared it to the FPP one and the differences were once again exactly those that one would expect. The floppy image names are correct, only the volume serials differ. I assume this image to be correct.

    I don't think CDIMAGE has the ability to produce floppy images -- at least there are no indicators (like boot sectors etc.) in the .exe.

    Now we're just missing the Server and Advanced server images ... :)

    But you mentioned yours was:

    SHA1 - 1708c8ad3c33e8ae94a06b977d23929c9ba05681

    Mine is

    SHA1 - bc5420519edcef165232568de6e697f3271938cb

    Yeah I don't know with the floppy capabilities in CDIMAGE, but doubt boot sectors with be a stumbling block since it does not have for CD/DVD images either.

    Sorry, my mistake, I posted the wrong SHA1. Here's the output after a second run:

    Code:
      AutoCRC signature detected (78cff5be, VALID)
      MD5  : 0b19b2a88abddc20425cafe973fdb38e
      SHA1 : bc5420519edcef165232568de6e697f3271938cb
    Of course you're right about the boot sectors not being a hindrance, though the boot sectors of floppies are much more intertwined with the file system than those of ISO images.

    By the way: Did you get your ZRMPSEL_EN image from djxmmx? I seem to recall that is where I got mine ...

    Once again Sebus has the goods.

    Thanks for confirming the Pro hash.

    Any chance I could talk you into upping the floppy boot images and the setupp.ini from Advanced Server and Server? Then I can make those 2 myself from my FPP copies.
