Okay enough ranting, my question to you is. I maintain a file server that has the images on it and usually install across the network and this too is still faster then directly from Disc. As a matter of fact I always create ISO Images the the Optical Media Discs I have and use the ISO Image then, because including the time to make the ISO Image it still installs faster then from Disc.

Over the years I have downloaded just about everything available ISO Image on MSDN and all of the major Linux distros and I have never had to burn any ISO Image to Optical Media in order to install it in a Virtual Machine. checksum should not have have to be burned to Optical Media to be used in a Virtual Machine. I'm going to have to disagree with in the following context, any ISO Image that is downloaded from Microsoft (or anywhere else for that matter) and validates against its published MD5/SHA1/etc. I dowloaded memtest86+ from and of course the virtual maschines passes all tests :-/.Īnd also I start tempering with the advanced settings of VMware fusion, no effect. They say something about memory and suggest to run memtest. Yesterday I'll found something about 0x80070570 error message on Microsoft community. I can't see the point, first burning and then using. And the last one is from Microsoft itself.Ģ) I'm using the ISO image directly. Sometimes people have had more luck configuring the VMs CD-ROM to directly access the ISO file than to have it read a DVD in a physical drive.ġ) Verified: No! But I've tried several different ISO images.

How have you configured the virtual CD drive for your VM? Is it configured for the physical CD/DVD drive (which would mean that you burned your ISO to a DVD-ROM) or is it configured to use the ISO image directly?

Have you verified the integrity of your downloaded ISO image (i.e.
