Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool Invalid ISO file

[Jonathan_King]

No, in the extracted ISO. Extract the ISO using whatever you like (like WinRAR). In the newly created folder. you should see a setup.exe file.

I tried this, but all I get is an error message:
"e:\setup.exe is not a valid win32-application" (I got the german message, I think it's exactly what I've written in English.

Try verifying the ISO's hash.

Instead of clicking of "Install now" on the initial screen, I can choose "Repair your computer". If I click on that button I have the options to select a OS to repair (no one is listed here) or to "Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier."
There is also a button to "Load drivers". After clicking on that I have access to the X: drive and can copy & paste things to my flash drive.
Do you think there might be somewhere the correct driver(s) which I can copy to my flash drive?

Try changing the SATA setting in the bios to non-RAID. You have already tried AHCI, right?

 

[dafe0001]

yepp, I tried AHCI already and just verified the ISO hash: It doesn't match with the checksums on that site Windows 7 RTM SHA-1 hash / checksums!

 

[dafe0001]

I can't find a possibility to change the SATA-setting to non-raid. I can only change the "SATA Controller Mode" from AHCI to Compatibility (IDE).

 

[Jonathan_King]

Try the IDE then. IDE is the same as non-RAID.

 

[dafe0001]

that's what I tried yesterday two or three times already and it didn't work!
I also downloaded the ISO file already twice.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Have you verified the hash? See the link I posted above.

I'll be back here tomorrow.
Thanks already for your help. I really appreciate that.

What SATA driver do you use when installing Win XP?
Use them for Win 7, in this tutorial:

You're problem is the ISO if the HASH doesn't match.

Here are the HASHes for MSDn downloads:

Just wanted to tell you, that I've finally installed Windows 7 with a DVD from a friend and then entered my MSDNAA product key.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Great, thanks for the report!
