iso burning

Asked by #Skaterboy#

I downloaded ubuntu 7.04 from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386 320 MB (336.310.272 bytes)
When i open it with WinRar the value is 720 MB. However when i check the MD5checksum it's not right!

Problem 1: How's this possible?
I tried to burn the .iso image with ISO RECORDER, but when i get to GRUB CD boots but wants to reboot no matter what option I choose. (by pressing enter)
Now i tried it with nero trough "Burn image" but i get this error when i click on the .iso file: "The extered block size does not correspond to the image length. The block size may be wrong."
Problem 2: anyone knows what's wrong?
I tried to download the .iso file from different sites:
http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
http://ftp.tiscali.nl/ubuntu-releases/

But i get everytime the same problems

If the MD5 is bad, the iso will not work! Try to test the CD before installing.
Try to follow this HowTo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#head-5f36c46dbbdd2bd773ae1f5d361be66c6553babf

You got a corrupted ISO in the first place.

The ISO file for desktop should be around 700MB, not 320MB.
Every ISO file records the correct size in the start of the file, that's why WinRAR gives you a hint of the correct size.

You need to download again, preferably with a download manager,
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

There are many open-source download managers, including
http://dfast.sourceforge.net/

The new Ubuntu 7.10 is coming on the 18th October.

Then maybe your modem or internet connection is damaged? You can maybe download it from a internet cafe or order a CD.

Maybe your harddisk is damaged?

Can you help with this problem?
