Re: Can't install Windows XP from MSDNAA

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



The ISO filename is an exact match and I might be able to simulate the same
installation on my laptop if I can clear some space on it.
If the Virtual Machine can't run it, then something is really wrong.

The iso file containing Windows XP SP3 professional at MSDNAA seems

I have a MSDNAA license from The Uppsala University but any request
to redownload goes nowhere.

Is there anyone who hasn't gone fishing and can tell me where I can
get a working copy?

Assuming you mean you downloaded:

Includes: Professional-Retail;
File Name:

I just downloaded it, used it to install a VirtualBox VM with no
problem.
It does have an i386 directory when mounted as an ISO image - so it
will have an i386 directory when burned to CD.

Can you not just download another copy to verify your download
wasn't corrupted? Or is it not you that has the ability to
download and your trouble is with the support at The Uppsala
University?
Do you have another download than what I have referred to?

I downloaded it only a few hour ago - are you downloading exactly what I
described (is your ISO named the same, description/date the same, etc?)

I cannot - unless the same ISO image is not available to you - see why yours
would differ. ;-)

(Again - unless - given the details I have - we are not downloading the same
thing; the picture should clear up confusion.)
