Windows Server 2008 setup hanging

    I downloaded the AMD64 trial ISO of Windows Server 2008 from Microsoft last night. When I boot from the CD it asks for a product key, which Microsoft say not to enter if using the trial. I click Next, then choose No when it asks if I want to enter a product key. But the setup just freezes at this point, it doesn't get to the stage where it asks which edition to install.

    Anyone else have this problem? Bad download maybe?

    Its your disk I would say, Ive dl'ed and installed it a bunch of times with zero problems.

    I can send you on a disk next week, or you can collect in Dublin if you have more trouble.

    Yeah I'm fairly sure its the disc, the SHA-1 of the ISO doesn't match what I think it should be. I'm trying it one more time.
