Solved Failing to update?

[Alexey2912]

Yes I can hook up wired, I thought you were asking coz of the size of download.......

 

[ThrashZone]

Nope but it's better to download with a wired connection
Plus I doubt windows will install your wifi driver but windows will install a basic lan or wired driver for you after install.

Personally if you doubt the iso file size try it again with the wired connection.

Thanks again for editing.

The struck off aren't required ......correct?

During start of download displayed 2.4 GB, but stopped twice at 2.0 GB........is that ok OR do I need to download again?

Best regards!

I get a different size for that ISO on my download.



Here's the SHA & MD5 numbers,

File: Win7_Pro_SP1_English_x32.iso
CRC-32: e8c2ad67
   MD4: 5f42e61aeb5c5bfff378954d37cb44ce
   MD5: 0bff99c8310ba12a9136e3d23606f3d4
 SHA-1: d89937df3a9bc2ec1a1486195fd308cd3dade928

I would than request you to keep the link for a couple of hrs.....if that's fine with you?

 

[ThrashZone]

No problem take all the time you need the link is good for 24hours after I posted it

Seems we may have found out a little about you wifi connection though and possibly why updates are failing
It must be dropping connection

You're welcome.

How do you know about "SHA and MD5 checksum nos"
Hell I don't even know what the heck those are

Thanks appreciate you keeping the link for 24 hrs, so can download with a peace.

You could be ........NO you probably are correct regarding the WiFi.......its download speed varies from 3.0 Mbs/s to even 0.5 Mbps.......

 

[ThrashZone]

Okay yea lets try everything wired for now on

Possibly Derek has some tips on connectivity ?

 

[Alexey2912]

Yea every thing wired now.......

MS tech wired my brains in the last 3 days with 9 plus hrs of talking.......

How do you know about "SHA and MD5 checksum nos"
Hell I don't even know what the heck those are

I use this,

HashCheck Shell Extension

And it generates it right in the properties window,



Then check this site for the numbers,

https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/hh442898



And see if they match,



You can see the SHA matches so the download wasn't corrupted.

At last successfully downloaded.....size 2.38 GB.

Thanks.

May I ask how do you use Hash shell Extension....?

I used 7zip........

I did install it but how does it actually function?

Best regards!

Hi,

1. Successfully burnt 2 media (just in case) using ImgBurn and checked they both work fine.

2. Tried creating a USB flash drive using Rufus, it was fine but when tried to boot using it gave an error " unable to read data", probably because choose 16 kb cluster size......was my 1st time doing it?

3. Have the 2 updates on another USB drive as recommended.

4. Now plan clean installing W7 with SP1, shall keep you posted how it goes.

5. As to 7 zip, in the new version how do I get to options to link associated files......like .iso etc?

6. Received an email from MS class 2 support tech, wanted to do another remote session to which didnt reply back.

Thanks again,

Best regards!

Hi,

Its going on fine after a clean install and as recommended.

Have a few questions:

1. Should I install all 162 Windows important updates and than install MS Office and its updates?

2. Is indexing essential or can it be unchecked?

Thanks.

 

[ThrashZone]

162 ?
Well yea
I'd try all of them and see if it works it has for me in the past
It may error out as some may not install if this one is install with any other updates it actually needed to be installed all by it's self on one install KB3020369

Hi, yes 162 approx 554 MB in size.

You imply not to install KB 3020369?

Regarding indexing your thoughts?

Thanks again.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi
Don't worry about indexing or settings yet
Don't use the computer while updating.

The update "might" need to be excluded install all of the updates to begin with.
