Invalid ISO

Question
-
This is the second Windows 8 ISO I've downloaded that's done this (1 32-bit, 1 64-bit). When trying to burn the image, I get a notification that the ISO is invalid. I've generated both SHA-1 hashes and compared to the ones on the website (only the 64-bit one matched).
I would REALLY like to avoid having to re-download the iso due to an extremely slow internet connection. Please help!

My 32-bit ISO is 1.69 GB
The 32 bit ISO is 2.8GB, your download did not complete. Try redownloading it.
If you're using a browser to download it, try using a download manager instead. They can be more reliable with large files.
Free Download Manager is a popular one:

What is the file size of your ISO? I may be able to help you patch it in-place.Thursday, September 15, 2011 9:49 PM

It looks like this message might be related to a bad disk, or a bad burn.
Try burning the ISO again, you can try using the Microsoft Store ISO burning tool located here:

If that fails, you can put the ISO into a USB stick (Using the same ISO tool linked above) and trying the installation from the USB stick.Thursday, September 22, 2011 1:59 AMModerator -
