A Handy Guide to Using the Files You've Downloaded

[IGJOE]

Now before you shoot me hehehe it has been a very long time since I have done these type of files so could you just bear with me ........... I have downloaded files for windowxp media edition 2005 and I have no idea how to use them for burning on a cd and load windows on a HD. Now before you fall off you chair with laughter ok. :icon_rr:

I have a computer that had windows xp media edition 2005 , but didnt come with a cd but I have my key for it and no CD with it like that wouldnt happen with HP computer company sooooooooooooo here I am trying to remember how to do this and I really could use some help here. Here I have a pic of what type of files that I have in two CD1 & CD2 Folders, belive me there was no instructions with it either. Can some one led help to a poor old soul ,,,,,, :icon_thum

This is by far the best and easiest explanation of how to use files. I learned a few things that I didn't know. Thanks

...and STILL you continue.
Yes. I would be tempted to splash your IP everywhere, and it's about time someone put you out of our misery.

Jeez.

Corrected the links for Daemon Tools

What about .torrent if you download computer games off of azureus then all you can get is the raw code. How do you change that?

Hmm... raw code? What's the extension on the file? Usually games are distributed with disk images like .iso or a .bin/.cue combo which you can mount with daemon tools. If the files are .rar .r01 and so on you'll need winrar to extract first.

the pic is a bit blurry but they look like rar files. Luckily you appear to have winrar already installed. Double click one of the files on each cd to extract them, then mount with daemon tools or burn.

this is an amazing gide, will be linking to it regularly. thanks for taking the time to create this!

I didn't create it. I've added a lot to it over time, and edited to correct dead links. The initial work was by hussdiesel at filesoup. I grabbed it off of torrentbits server prior to the site's demise.

WOW!

Somehow this crappy little document is still alive!? Thanks very much for the original credit Miniver, but I see a lot of changes have been made. Great work!

I'm so shocked and impressed to see what's become of it. I feel immortalized! lol.

thanks again Miniver, you are a very honest, and caring individual. I was so shocked, I had to register just to thank you.

When downloading a movie thats in WINRAR archive, there be 95 or so winrar files. To view the movie to see the quality or to find out more about it. Download the tenth or more winrar file, and add the .vob extension and play with power dvd. Power dvd will tell you the 5.1audio and the average bytes... I usually use it to find what a movie is if its not posted with the original nfo or if i wanted to see what the sound will be if its a direct line on a R5 release. After your done, erase the .vob extension to get the winrar file back =)
