    Part 4 of 4 - unvalid link

    hello jlgager,

    first I'd like to thank you for perfect "Official Vidows 7 Repository" - there was a activating step with the Widows Loader by Diaz - all works perfect till today - great JOB!!!!;
    in the current Windows 8 Repostory there is no word about the Windows Loader - in the Part 4 of 4, we can read: Information about KMS activation can be found "here".
    But, the link "here" unfortunately doesn't works for me.
    So, do I need to find and download Windows Loader somewhere to activate Win 8 or there is other way to do this?

    My Best Regards, honchovintorez

    Hi all,

    I download Win 8 Enterprise x86 and x64 from first topic link just now... but why the SHA-1 Hash value is different from the posted one?
    Here's my downloaded file SHA-1 Hash :
    x86 : B18E99C38177537DC2B115C3E23A8CAC1C64E537
    x64 : AE59E04462E4DC74E971D6E98D0CC1F2F3D63F1D

    First link SHA-1 :
    x86 : 15CE0B54557B0EC6376ACBBF76E33714FFC3A632
    x64 : 73DF20A98D8CDF52E70FBFFECBEBA63F2A242322

    And in Part 2 of 4: Check authenticity against MSDN ISO
    x86 : FEFCE3E64FB9EC1CC7977165328890CCC9A10656
    x64 : 4EADFE83E736621234C63E8465986F0AF6AA3C82

    I know the msdn one is not eval... Are my download corrupted? Should I download again?

    I really like delta patches, sharing delta patches over evaluations from MS is a great way. Torrents are not allowed at my place :(

    KMS Link Updated, Added Upgrade Assistant Download Link and Torrents Do Work. Try reinstalling your torrent client.

    Avoid using utorrent and bittorrent... I never had success using magnet links with them... so I switched to Vuze

    You have to wait for a while!! uTorrent is fetching information from DHT.

    If I install 8 on a laptop that is already dual booting 7 and Ubuntu Studio, will 8's loader take over? Will I have trouble making 8-ProWMC activation permanent?

    Mhmm.

    At that point, you'd need to boot into Linux from CD/DVD/USB, chroot into your existing filesystem and setup Grub/Grub2/Burg/Syslinux, etc... over again. Which by installing OS-Prober will auto-detect your currently installed systems. chrooting can seem a bit difficult, but just read over the wiki/tutorial a few times and you'll understand. Alternatively, you can just install Windows, and play around in BCD Editor, which is the simpler route.

    However, I do love my Grub2. Just my two cents.
