Corrupt ISO's

forced re-check on a torrent client might help if you can find a matching torrent,just a thought :)
but if i were you I'll be more worried about why they got corrupted in the first place....

Alright so i tried copying to teh desktop then tried opening with power ISO and Winrar and these are the errors i get.

One thing you might want to try is to install another app besides poweriso to see if the iso's are corrupt. I have had power iso go corrupt on me and it gave similar errors.

Hope this helped

You could try Isobuster - see what the free version can do.

Download IsoBuster: CD Data Recovery software also featuring DVD, BD and HD DVD file data rescue

FWIW, I agree with Nighthawk that it may be a combination of windows issues and HD errors causing the problems in the first place. This has been happening to me too for the last 3 months or so. (especially since dual booting win7 x64/xp pro x32)

I d/l an iso, run the hash checks and everything checks out A-OK.

Copying to another physical HD corrupts the image. Multiple copy attempts eventualy succeed.


Thoughts;

• Known good ISO's are found to be corrupt a few weeks later.
• Hashtab cobbles my windows7 install.
• Win7 seems more sensitive about HD's.

Might be a funky I/O what are you using to copy, win drag and drop, or third party?

I don't think it is anything to do with Hashtab - works fine for me.

Possibly to do with the.iso being on an external drive.

Are there issues with any other file types on that drive?

I've used both win7 and terracopy with the same results.

My Win7 build just seems to have "issues". Still not sure if it's ram or physical drives but, it' totally usable as my main daily use pc. (like, checking SevenForums everyday, browsing newsgroups, etc.)

I'm not too concerned about it tho. I'll prolly update this box in the next few months. (well, gonna consolidate pc's and add a mini ITX as a file server, reducing the server'ish function of my main pc.) I'll be READY come October!

That's a mystery alright since the RCs are still intact here since first downloaded back in May and can still be opened right up with a double click with Winrar. I've had iso images for ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10 as well as older GParted live images stored here since last year and can still be used at any time.

If you can open with WINRAR then they are OK. You also can test with Winrar. and before I would say they are CORRUPT.. uncompress with winrar with EXACT to same name.iso
then it is usable without winrar.
VERY FEW FILES ARE USABLE WHILE COMPRESSED.
