    I cannot do a clean install because everytime I download the .ISO is modified


    I have been struggling for years with this problem and Ive finally decided to try the Microsoft forums. I recently figured out that you can use the GET FILE HASH command in power shell to generate the SHA 256 and compare it to the list Microsoft provides. EVERY TIME i download the ISO or make a USB the ISO is does NOT match up, instead it always matches up uniformly to another set of numbers. Every other forum tells me to "Ask a friend and get them to give me a clean USB" I have sadly infected the few friends i have I'm ashamed to say I don't have anyone else. I really don't. Everyone else say

    :)

  3. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
