OK many thanks to the guys on Where can I download Windows 7 (legally from Microsoft)? who provided links to d/l the WIn7 .ISO images.

Now where can we find a similar listing of the md5 hashes for those files? [I was using one of those downloads and was beating my head against a wall because of an error during file unpacking - turned out my image was corrupted. Downloaded again and it worked perfectly - could have saved myself 2 days of frustrated googling and lots of hair if I had just checked the hashes before starting :-( ]

I managed to find one or two md5 nos but not for the specific file I'm looking for. Someone somewhere must have them all? I'd have thought the Digital River d/l site probably has them but I haven't yet found a way to access the parent pages of any of those downloads - the links in the page I referred to above all take you direct to the downloads.

    TechNet should provide SHA-1 hashes. superuser.com/questions/272141/… lists hashes for English ISOs. That also has links to the TechNet pages with hashes (click on the Details link).

SHA1 checksums are available from microsoft.com. If you found the file you're interested in, click "Details" to see the checksum.

I found a list of MD5 sums on a page with torrent links, but the official Microsoft sources are probably more trustworthy.

  • "SHA1 checksums are available from microsoft". Not anymore, apparently.
