Hello everybody,

I've downloaded the 23 parts (zip files) of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM Build 7600.16385 x86 from the Rapidshare website , then I've unzipped them and I've got a bigger zip file of 2.32GB.At this stage I've tried to unzip this file and I've got an error message:

"Extracting efi\microsoft\boot\fonts\chs_boot.ttf Unable to create file"

Could anybody tell me what I've done wrong or maybe I couldn't download the files properly- all the zip files from part 01 to part 22 are of 98,078KB but part 23 is of only 94,969KB.I've downloaded it several times and is still the same size.

Could you please help me to get through this, I want so much to install windows 7!

Thanks a lot,

Andrew.

The 2.32GB file may be an ISO file, which means you have to burn it to a DVD.

I pretty sure the RS download is an iso split into multi rar files.
I would recommend using Winrar to extract the iso, and use either powerISO or MagicISO to burn to dvd.

u don't need to extract ISO file just use buring ISO image tool and install fresh installation.

Thanks for your answers.All I've done so far was to get a large rar file of 2.32 GB and I couldn't extract with WinRar - I've tried and got over 600 diagnostic messages like these:Cannot create sources\name of the file
Cannot create support\ name of the file.

Sagie69 could you please tell me what I have to do with this large rar file of 2.32GB how could I use the burning ISO tool without extracting it.

Thanks a lot,
Andrew.

the one large "rar" file that you mention,
chances are, it is not a rar file at all, even tho it has a winrar icon, if you unhide known file extensions,
(folder options, view...uncheck the box for "hide extensions for known file types"....apply and ok)
I'll wager, you will find out that the "large rar file" has a .iso file extension, and not a .rar file extension.
as other people have said, do not extract the .iso file, at this point, you are done extracting things, it's fully extracted, (just because it has a winrar icon, does not mean it needs to be extracted)
use an image burning software to burn that image (.iso is an image file) to a dvd.
you can not just make a data disk, or place the file onto a dvd, it won't work.
as far as some image burning software to use,
a few have been mentioned, powerISO, magicISO,
nero has the ability, same with roxio...
there are tons of image burning software that will do the job.
how to burn the iso to a dvd, varies a bit with the software you choose.
basically, you open the image burning software of your choice, find the option of "burn image to disc" (or similier language), select the .iso file, put a blank dvd in your burner, and burn it.
