jagwah Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) What file did you actually download? the name of the file download? mandriva-linux-2007-spring-one-GNOME-cdrom-x86_64.iso.part That looks like it never finished actually downloading, notice the .part The sha1 and md5 stuff is for checking the checksum of the file after you've downloaded it. You didn't like unpack an .iso file or something did you? I've only ever got either a single .iso file, or a folder containing the .iso file with the md5/sha1 checksum stuff and maybe a text file when I have downloaded iso's. What you have there looks foreign to me anyway Edited April 22, 2007 by jagwah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Before you just click this read what Jagwah said.... Once you have a proper download it will have no .part and you can follow this http://wiki.mandrivausers.org/index.php/Burning_ISOs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the4ork Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 i think the .part file is from when my download got interrupted and i started a new one from a different server... so i guess i can delete that one... the main iso is intact. but those md5 and sha1 files i have no idea what those are... also whats up with the folders? should i only need the main 700mb iso on one CD? and those folders and stuff might be extra software for the OS, and i can put them on a different cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 md5 and sha1 are checksumming systems: those files are to let you check the download was correct, not tampered with or corrupted. You don't actually burn them. The other folders only make sense if you've somehow mounted the .iso file, don't know how you managed that. But either way, you don't burn them. All you do is burn the .iso file and nothing else to a disc *as an image*, not as a file. Follow the instructions Gowator linked to or the ones on the official wiki: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Installin..._and_DVD_images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
