It's no longer the same file because you changed the content. Dragging the files to a burning program removes the boot loader. If you burn your ISO to a real CD, it will not boot on a computer without an operating system. And THAT is why we use specific programs to create the ISOs, that way we make sure the original content remains intact and untouched. EDIT: It's like having a document in a PDF file, and instead of sending me that file, you print the document, take a picture, and send the picture to me. It will look similar to the original document, but it will NEVER be the original document.
In truth Windows 2000 SP1 Greek that was posted is bootable ... so the method that claims to have used "ccpruss000" is false! since as you say dragging only the folders it cannot become bootable. however for the uninitiated it has been scientifically proven that the number of the SHA1 is not unique but two different files with the same SHA1 may exist my curiosity ... but have all versions of Windows 2000 been released ?! (RTM, SP1, SP2 ...) or just a few and it depends on the language
I never created a custom ISO with ImgBurn, but it most probably has an option to make ISOs bootable as every burning programs do. And yes, 2 files could have the same SHA1, but good luck finding them, as the pool of combinations is huge, probably over 10^40... If I'm not mistaken, there used to be lists of all known hashes, but for whatever reason they were deleted from the "repository" topics, which are now anything BUT repositories. Deleting links for ISOs i understand, but the info about ISOs should have been left intact.
has somebody original MSDN (or retail) versions of win2k SP2 and SP3? I have no idea where to get them. I have retail RTM and SP4 versions, but not SP2 and SP3.
for my collection, of course. I have collected all english windows xp and vista isos, and now want to do the same with earlier windows operating systems.
I have the same: RTM ISOs, SP4 ISOs and all 4 Service Pack EXEs in between. I've used Windows 2000 SP4 for several years and it brings back good memories from my University years, but I don't have any use for it anymore so what I have is good enough for storage and nostalgia. If I happen to stumble upon the other ISOs I'll get them too, but I'm not actively looking for them, so... meh.
Please disturb (beg) all other leeches I'm tired ..... upload the same files on MDL again and again and again again and again or ask at the Salvation Army
@ccypruss000 All info is given in *.svf file. Open with SVF eXtractor and you can see SHA1 and name of source image. SmartVersion | Tools + Scripts
sorry but non ISO with trailing padding is a legid / valid ISO for ISO9660 techical details see eg. Ecma-035 Ecma-107 Ecma-119 udf260 (in case of osta UDF format extension) etc. the valid size of all ISO9660 is hardcoded inside the ISO9660 PrimaryVolumeDescriptor (header) !!!!
@ccypruss000 Why don´t you re-dump image as i have pointed out several times? You can see that your image is bigger than mine and that will also impact on your checksum.
What do you mean the image is bigger than yours? From the link above I downloaded it is windows 2000 professional service pack 3
Most people don't realize that they have to speak to foreigners the same way they speak to a 3yo, otherwise stuff gets lost in the translation. Source file must be YRMPOEM_EN.iso, size 389.640.192 bytes, and SHA1 48ddb2b11332c2131d78dd8b18b4f6dc9f631112. Do you have this file with same size and SHA1? Your file is 381.108 KB * 1024 = 390.254.592 bytes, which is 614.400 bigger than it should be.
