 |
|
I have just downloaded a file called FC-5-i386-DVD.iso from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download.
When trying to burn it to DVD, using Nero, the following error message
appears:
Foreign Image file
The entered block size does not correspond to the image length. The block
size may be wrong. Do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem?
(The options are Correct and Ignore).
Does this mean that the file is corrupted? It took nearly 5 hours to
download, so I am reluctant to repeat the process.

I've only used linux to burn a DVD so I don't know about nero...
there should be a hash file ( called SHA1SUM or MD5SUM or something
similar ) that has a list of checksums for each file. If there is
and you can find a file for your OS that will run the checksum for
your then you can compare what you downloaded with that they gave
you. For example... if I run
sha1sum FC-5-x86_64-DVD.iso
on my box in the directory where I downloaded the DVD.iso image it
tells me:
0429be10e3df5a3ec118ca32802aa44cdf89c6c5 FC-5-x86_64-DVD.iso
I can compare that checksum value against the one listed on
the website where I downloaded the .iso and tell me if it's good
or not....

check the sha1sum, if it is incorrect then the file is currupt. |

Thanks for replying.
I can't find any info for the individual files, although the website that I
downloaded it from gives checksum for the iso file as
ed9a852cf77250c3ae111c621d350af5c0b0a29b.
I haven't found any way of verifying a checksum in Windows XP yet. I guess
this isn't a Linux problem so I should have posted the question in an
Windows newsgroup.

You can get sha1sum that will run on Windows, see this

It did the same thing to me the first time I downloaded the dvd iso and
tried to burn it with nero. I ended up downloading it again and that time
it worked with no problem.

I have downloaded sha1sum.exe from this site. What is it meant to do? When
I try to run it, I see a window open and close, too fast to read.

It's ok. I tried running it from the command prompt and it worked.
The checksum doesn't match.
