mine wasnt corrupt, ive never downloaded ISO&#39;s that were corrupt, just mp3;s and movies. try it, there are enough sources that it will download really fast so what u got to loose?

1. im not sure what the 8in1 cd is.
2. should be bootable, although i dont know why no serial is needed...
3. should be bootable.

the one with no serial needed is because there is an answer file built into the install the will automatically put the serial number in there from that file and someone created.

EDIT: I use these at the office network to make installing XP easy.
