Too bad, but ok, I understand I can't have everything. (I would have really liked to have this very special version, because I have to setup an old Pentium-II computer with 96MB RAM over xmas. It would be great if Oz's bag pouch could be refilled and made available. I hope I ask nicely enough.)
Sorry, but as I told you.. I can't share ISOs I got from my company that are (probably) personally branded. Everyone in company was warned about this. I have already checked the SHA1 values on google, but they don't match any existing ones (I have cut the overdumped parts). I'm really sorry, but you seem to insist on this.
That would make them homebrew if they were customized by your company - so of no interest. But at the end of the day ... people who share nothing can't expect to get much back.
Prompt checksums and filenames? And where can I download the original disks Windows Millennium Russian? 101 - Microsoft Windows ME 4.90.3000 Retail CD Full. 115 - Microsoft Windows ME 4.90.3000 OEM CD Full.
sorry for the long delay Code: your SHA-1: 1D56A25E691487587350F843E1DF1E84CAC8E66D <- create without -o switch my SHA-1: B9A5AA38A5BEB1E8C321014E67A7512E64F0A5C6 *[FRA] winME_115_oem_cd1_20000608.iso <- create with -o switch Since all other iso 'is created with -o switch I tend to my iso your cht_windows_me_retail_.zip confirmed as valid. i have a similar zip with the same files (except win9x\oemsetup.exe) your oemsetup.exe is newer and = ENU version = CHS version i remake a iso based on your files Code: 3DDB35BB2391CD93A886EF2ACEC25E7BA19794EB *[CHT] winME_101_rtm_cd_20000608.iso i upload both files to the collectors cloud later done
E09308BDCF45481F736B5ED1BEC6786EEB9AA0AF *[RUS] winME_115_oem_cd1_20000608.iso idk if a "step by step interactive cd" for Russian ever released ([RUS] winME_115_oem_cd2_2000????.iso) BTW the English version include both cd in 1 the German and Swedish version split in to 2 cds
I have two Windows ME ISOs with Russian locale: 1. The first one is exactly (by SHA-1) as noted on the previous page: Code: File Name: 4.90.3000__x86fre_WinME_ru-ru-rtm-oem.iso File Size: 384,751,616 bytes (366 MB) CRC32: 32E41600 MD4: 73B69B80D0514186CDC71ABEAFEB276F MD5: B6319ACC171713F2EDE7A3FCA30C424B SHA-1: E09308BDCF45481F736B5ED1BEC6786EEB9AA0AF 2. And the second one has all the same files ant time stamps internally, but different sums: Code: File Name: WinME_115_OEM_CD_Full_Rus.iso File Size: 385,058,816 bytes (367 MB) CRC32: A976752F MD4: F7478DABC4A319F14B973A8C1D456A2D MD5: D28762204C7BC54E6CF5B5900A345810 SHA-1: 1655D84C693DAC01F1A5FFD63F89146292C099B8 Both disks were made with CDIMAGE 2.39 (12/04/97 TM). I have no ideas about explaining this difference.
@Sajjo Thanks for advise. Yep. Just a few minutes ago I did it, and HxD says they are identical but with different file size. Moreover I have exactly the same mystery with my two ISOs of Windows 98 SE Russian, both made with CDIMAGE 2.38 (08/27/97 TM): Code: File size: 586,952,704 bytes (559 MB) File name: 4.10.2222A__x86fre_Win98SE_ru-ru-rtm-oem.iso CRC32: 4659374B MD4: 524B900942FD148040CB02BD6B257654 MD5: 36BA8CC965F2220812314B18150C65E7 SHA-1: 619E6D9525A89ACA33FF34E12603570DDCC2C521 File Size: 587,259,904 bytes (560 MB) File Name: Win98_115_OEM_CD_Full_Rus.iso CRC32: B3FB7858 MD4: EEA84350953F67FB3B6C5DAF6528DF83 MD5: 39EEEF6159EB02C225CC22BBFB6DD9B9 SHA-1: 2524B62183A7AA785DA858D6434BBFEA03712FE5
Absolutely right. Here I see 307200 of mysterious bytes, in each pair of ISOs. Where these extra bytes came from? No ideas!
Imgburn, Nero, AnyBurn are some of many tools that adds xtra bytes at the end. UltraIso will do the job correct if you enable iso volume filter switch
It´s not CDIMAGE that is the culprit, it happens when you make a image from a physical medium. Try mount both images and do a checksum against each volume and you will see a match.
I use slightly different method. I mount a suspicious ISO that looks like a real stuff, then I read the mounted disk with the “exact program” (LC ISO Creator or dd, in my case) into new ISO, check and compare it with the [supposedly] proper ISO, as in this situation. Usually the correct source gives the correct result, and the total sums coincide. And yes, a larger image after that can be safely removed. The problem with these “like a real” ISOs from the Internet is that they are everywhere throughout the WWW, so if you don’t know exactly the sums you will see them again and again here and there, everywhere, and people honestly name it a real genuine ISOs from Microsoft or other vendor.
