On more than one occasion I’ve wanted to know if the Windows ISO I have is legitimate or has been corrupted in some way. The only way to know for sure is to hash the file and compare the hash with a known good hash. Fortunately Microsoft has provided those hashes on it’s MSDN site.
You can use the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to check if the file you have matches the hash Microsoft has on file. You can get the tool from Microsoft here. You run it at the command line with the the “sha1” switch to generate the hash.
PS C:\> .\fciv.exe -sha1 c:\somepath\some.iso
The output should look something like this:
PS C:\> .\fciv.exe -sha1 en_windows_8_pro_vl_x64_dvd_917699.iso // // File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05. // 6ddedebe40ab59cb11823f62f475c43c4053fe60 C:\en_windows_8_pro_vl_x64_dvd_917699.iso
