how do i verify the md5 and sha1 hashes for the vista iso's

 

[Sascha Benjamin Jazbec]

Microsoft offers an utility for that purpose, called MS "FCIV utility"

here is an howto and the downloadlink

As this is a bit complex and cmd-line only util, you might want to look for
a graphical frontend to such a tool:

Nero has one : http://www.nero.com/us/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

x86
- File Size = 2.5 GB
MD5 hash: 22486e815a38feffd9667317dfeec55a
SHA1 hash: e00b4ebbc81fb420cf047973b95a9cfb7cdf51b7

x64
- File Size = 3.6 GB
MD5 hash: f3a385aae6e4dea9226e31d9f1148b56
SHA1 hash: 8e4de7a72c828a3543ff1663243eb0836da07eea

Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want
to
check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive
and open it and it will automatically start the verification process and
generate the result in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are
safe.

You can also use CRC.exe. CRC value is
0xB3519FCA

A simple hash generator can be found here

version 1.4 - it will even do the comparison for you

I have written a MD5 checker speficially for Vista, has the official MD5's
included with it, do it's a select the version (currently RC1 32bit, or
RC1 64bit), point it at the downloaded ISO, and click Check.

It's actually faster than the Microsoft commandline checker, and has a
GUI...
