BOOTMGR Image is corrupt (when installing 7000 leak)

[zibredlektab]

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my PC as a dual-boot w/ XP. First of all, is there a guide somewhere for doing this, because I'm basically winging it at this point.

Secondly, when I burn the image ([link removed by admin]) to a DVD+R and boot from said DVD, I get a black screen with the message 'BOOTMGR Image is corrupt. System cannot boot." in the corner. I've burned it three times using different programs, all at the slowest speed possible, and I always get this message. The MD5 matches the one specified on the torrent info page, so I don't think the image is the problem, and nobody else on the site seems to be having this problem. I've burned other operating system boot disks using this drive and these disks before, so I don't think they are the problem, either...but this leaves me with nothing to blame.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

have you matched the MD5 of your image to the one listed here? If they don't match, your image is *not* genuine as it claims to be....

Ok, I thought it matched before, but doing it now I get an md5 of a0833599ff1bc4d6b84593039d3f7024. Am I correct in thinking that it should be f9dce6ebd0a63930b44d8ae802b63825 ?

yup - that MD5 is different. Hence, it is not an intact image..
