I lost my Windows 2000 Pro CD, but find an old backup (ZRMPFPP_EN.iso) I did
once, but I'm not sure is this backup data correct or not. So I need to
verify MD5 sum of that ISO file, could someone post MD5 sum for
ZRMPFPP_EN.iso file, just to compare?

Thanks.

Unless someone else happens to have a backup of the identical Windows
distribution made with the identical version of whatever backup program
was used, an MD5 sum is unlikely to be helpful. Why don't you try writing
that image to a CD and then checking some individual components?

Seems you're right. But how to check this individual components? And which
components?

Assuming that the inmage is in fact a backup of a Win2K CD, is there any
chance that it could be a version other than the one you need? I'm
thinking that if you write it to a CD and it turns out to be Win2K Pro, a
simple comaprison of a directory listing of the root directory with a
known good copy should be sufficient. Mine looks like this:

Volume in drive R is SP2POEM_EN
Volume Serial Number is 3565-63D9

Directory of R:\
