Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

Thank you for your kind attention to this Brink ... for some reason I was able to "repair" the installation of the Win 7 USB/DVD Download Tool today (although my attempt to do so yesterday failed). I also have ImgBurn on my computer now and was able to make a bootable Win 7 disk using both programs. All is well. Gratitude.

It's not what I got. On my usb it says X17-58997.iso.... no folders as you have.... i must have done something wrong?

Hello pxfragonard,

It sounds like you may have just copied the ISO file to the USB instead of doing what's in the tutorial on the first page.

yup! That's what I did! Went back, downloaded the install tool, re-downloaded the ISO file and ran the installer successfully, Thanks Sean!

You're most welcome. I'm glad you got it sorted now. :)

Ready to go next time it gives me trouble, I'm ready :)

I tried download from msft.digitalrivercontent.net and also www.heidoc.net these ISO images:

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)
latest and greatest X17-58997.iso

Windows 7 Professional x86 SP1 U (media refresh)
latest and greatest X17-59183.iso

Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 U (media refresh)
latest and greatest X17-59186.iso

The X17-58997.iso I received is 2,682,257,408 Bytes
The X17-59183.iso I received is 2,564,476,928 Bytes
The X17-59186.iso I received is 2,682,257,408 Bytes

X17-59183.iso seemed to complete. But the others don't look at all right as they're supposed to be more like 3.1GB.

• Can you tell me what the actual byte size of these files should be?
• Can you tell me what the correct CRC32 or MD5 or etc. of these files should be?

I hate to keep downloading these and then no way to tell if they're any good. Not to mention I only have a 7Mpbs connection.

Please Help please!
