    Win 7 - SP1 Iso - site is not available?


    My Win 7-SP1 iso (and my copies) are corrupted. I tried to download a new one I get this:
    The Page or File You Requested Could Not Be Provided

    I was just on there a couple days ago and downloaded a new one overnight but only got 99%. So I tried again last night & today. No luck.



    Anyone got any info? I hope it's not down for good because of Win 8.

    Is this the site you're asking about ...

    TheDigital River site is indeed down. I bought my Windows 7 Pro SP-1 from MS last year and used the link they provided to their site and got the current (I think) ISO version today. One can only hope that if the copy was purchased directly that it would be fully patched (or reasonably so). We need to wait to see what MS is going to do.
    IF-your copy is genuine and corrupted you may well have to buy an OEM copy of the version you want to have.

    Suggestion to ALL - make a duplicate of the disc(s) that you know is good and store it somewhere safe. Attach a copy of the Product Key for it.

    It's rare but it can happen if its copied from location to location, or the media its stored on goes bad. Hard drive failure etc. Or you burn a DVD and delete the original ISO file, and said DVD gets scratched. I've seen people refer to the DVD as "the ISO".
