It look like that file ( vista ) isn't good either . I try downloading the Vista from a site I know about and it came back as a good msdn hash . So I'm going to try to imgburn it onto a dvd . Will post back once its done
You need to unpack it (it's RAR file) and check the CRC of the ISO itself! WinRAR or 7-Zip can unpack RAR files, at least older ones.
I unzip the Vista rar file with winrar and its now an iso file ... Is the CRC from the hash program , if so ? This is the number under the iso file >>> E2AD10F9
Yes. This is the correct file. The other hashes will match, too. Personally, I do use the SHA1 hash because 1. MS uses it, too, and 2. it's the most reliable hash out of the three.
Yeah, I thought I had the correct one . I even have a real Microsoft Vista Ultimate disk ( 32 & 64 bits ) But here were the problem is , when I try to install I only have the one option to choose from " Custom " What I don't understand is why is the upgrade option is greyed out ? My only thoughts is because the Windows disc I'm using is a full retail version but here the strange part after Windows loads and I view System , It shows windows as an upgrade version . I was going to add 4 pics to show you but I can't , it wouldn't allow it
Upgrade is disabled because you did not start the Setup from within Windows. You cannot upgrade when booting from the media. It even tells you at the bottom.
What do you mean from media ? Even I try using my Microsoft retail Vista Ultimate version is the same thing , can you please explain ? Thanks
i did read there 2 types of OEM , One were the brand name computers use and the other were those so call repair shops use to build pc sales . What do I do with the 2 log files with those 2 programs or better yet can I attach them in the post ? Thx
