I downloaded (from Microsoft) build 5536 last night (at 3mb's down. NICE).
Anyhow, it downloaded as a *.rar file which I thought was odd since my 5472
build was just an iso. When I used winrar to open the file, the ONLY thing
it had in it was a 14kb text file. I'm somewhat miffed that I spent 3 hrs
downloading a 2.58gb file, open it and only find a 14kb text file. Does
anyone know what's going on here?
 
Hello QuickCheese,

The ISO uses the UDF file system, so when you attempt to browse it you will
not see anything. You are going to have to burn it to dvd to see the contents
of the ISO.

Hello,

The file you downloaded is an ISO file. You burn it to a DVD using a DVD
burning tool such as Nero using the "Burn Image" command. DO NOT just burn
it like a normal file - you MUST use the Burn Image command.

It only appears to just contain a text file; it actually contains all the
Windows files.
