Microsoft together with Digital River fixed the dowload snafu.

If you want to go a more direct route, Microsoft and Digital River now have something a bit more straightforward to offer

These are official authorized links.

Don't bother downloading this ISO if you don't have a valid student-only product key. You'll probably be able to install it, but your key won't activate the OS.

Your product key MUST MATCH the version you install. A Pro key will not activate a Home Premium install

Hahah awesome. I wonder if my friend who has an MSDNAA account can get me a key for 7 Pro x64.

Moderator Note:

asking for keys is not permitted

[Shiggity]

anyone here w/key LOL

With all due respect, buy it from the MS Store, even if just for a key. Asking for a key here in the public forums is illegal and I believe frowned upon.

Mods, correct me if I'm wrong.

These are the same links i got when i purchased windows 7 from microsoft, they are just retail images.

maybe someone can verify the md5 hash against a known retail image?

So you think a retail key will activate one of these installs?

I am monitoring memory usage using task manager. I have 2 computers running windows 7 7600 RTM.I noticed spikes in memory usage on both.
The problem is easiest to duplicate if you run chkdsk on a drive other than your boot drive (so you can actually have task manager open while it runs). chkdsk /f on a large hard drive works fine, or chkdsk /r on a smaller hard drive will work as well.
It doesn't seem to depend on which stage it is in - the memory usage balloons during stage 2 of a chkdsk /f on a (full) 1TB hard drive I have, and it happens during stage 4 of chkdsk /r on a full 32GB USB flash drive as well.
