    I'm checking my ISO files. Are these correct hashes for these files?
    Code:
    1. Windows 95 OSR2.5 Korean
    SHA-1: 3F903899B94F87BCB253FD0FC43BEFD38E7FAE32
    
    2. Windows NT 4 Workstation Korean (ko_winnt_4.0_wks.iso)
    SHA-1: F137E9DCFA3B5D2443CC0E69CA116504DAEE727C

    You probably wanted to ask if these hashes match the originals?
    It can be said with 100% confidence that it will not match, because at the time this software was released, the .ISO format was not yet used.
    So you can't compare them to the so-called originals by any method and never. These are homebrew and they have their own hashes.

    Then I'm looking for original ISO files:
    1. Windows 95 OSR2.5 Korean + Microsoft Plus! for Win95 Korean
    2. Windows NT 4 Workstation Korean (ko_winnt_4.0_wks.iso)

    How can you not understand that when these things appeared, the .iso format was not in use and these programs never appeared as an official .iso files, so it is not possible to get any of these hashes anywhere. They simply doesn't exist.
    Such original .iso simply do not exist and have never existed.
    All you can get at all, it is someone's homemade craft, or as it is more commonly known as homebrew.

    The ISO format existed, however, Windows images were not electronically distributed on websites, then (these were the times of slow Internet).
    While a 1:1 dump of a genuine CD of that time will give an original ISO, you always would have to trust someone, as there weren't any officially distributed hashes from MS.

    OK. I understood.

    1a. Windows 95 OSR2.5 Korean
    1b. Microsoft Plus! for Win95 Korean
    2. Windows NT 4 Workstation Korean (ko_winnt_4.0_wks.iso)

    Windows 95 was released on CD, so of course checksums exist.

    END OF f**kING STORY!

    I recall years ago remastering an ISO with the correct CDIMAGE and then finding a checksum online that was the same.

    File dates in dir listing looks like they could be the right ones
