I am sooo freaking unlucky. I have downloaded vista rc1 3 times now. the first one disk utility thinks is a dud, but burned on my winblows machine (mind you it failed half way through the installation) the second one i downloaded on my winblows computer, failed halfway through the download and the third one is having the same problem as the first (i haven't tried to install anything.... yet). I tried burning the last one with the disco beta (i am a cheapskate, i can't afford toast) and disco froze (i have tested disco, it works normally) and i am having the same problem. any ideas?
thanks in advance
 
Why RC1 and not RC2? Are you not getting it from the official download site?

If you're not getting it from MS that might have something to do with why it isn't working.

(FWIW, you could try and install from the ISO itself into Parallels, that's how I'm trying it out on my iMac.)

I recommend verifying the image against its MD5 sum. DropHash can help with this if you don't know how to check it yourself.
 
1, rc2 was only availible for a small amount of time
2, it was the real microsoft site
3, i don't have parallels
BTW: what on earth is an md5 sum?
 
i tried the drop hash thing and the sum is completely different to what it says on the site. what do i do now?
