Fresh screenshots from a Milestone 3 copy of Windows 8 leaked to the Internet on Friday.

The article is brief, but it shows 2 out of 4 new screenshots of the build 7989, a Milestone 3 copy built in April. BetaArchives members seem to be both trying to get and leak this built, while also discussing whether this is actually real or not. The topic can be found here. I hope the thread title is not misleading, so let me just state that, as far as I know, build 7989 is not an official beta, or any other "officially" released build, for that matter.

Hope we can find out a little sooner than that ;)

I can't get it to install on a dual boot :( It'll "install" but then give me an error saying I need to restart the installation.

PS: I got the torrent at 2.2MB/sec. Not too bad.

I restart the computer, restart the installation, and it eventually gets back to the same thing. I'm trying it via installing 7 again on a second partition and just upgrading. I'll post back and let you know if it worked.

Nope, it didn't work; I got an error saying that I cannot upgrade from a 64-bit OS to a 32-bit OS and I need to obtain the 64-bit disc. Yet, at the same time, it's also saying I cannot upgrade from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS and I need to obtain the 32-bit disc. None of it is making any sense. I'm trying to upgrade from a 64-bit to 64-bit (I tried 32-to-32 and got the same error message). That's what came up when it was checking compatibility options.

Did you check the hash marks?

May be corrupt due to the download.

First of all - You can't upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 ,or 7955 to 7989 ,You have to make clean installation.
Next ,check the hashes ,'cause it maybe be bad iso.

Here are the original hashes :

CRC32: 374EC90D
MD5: 4480F94C0E11CE58DC9B7330678F07DD
SHA-1: C09CDCEC2540D93EEBE650B521B2F7AE477A300A

Here is proper iso - MDL

I kept getting that message too, in VBox though, haven't had time to play too much with it. I'm gonna try a fresh ISO this weekend.

I figured you couldn't upgrade; but the first 2 times I tried installing clean I got the error message. I'll try the updated ISO next.

EDIT: Started the torrent, and it's not even downloading <.<

EDIT: nevermind, it's downloading. Darn my impatience.

IE 10 wont be a whole lot different. Only a minor interface difference, to fit with the Windows 8 theme. Also, good luck!

That makes more sense then. :)

And; alas, no banana! It didn't work. :( It was installing and I got a black screen with a shutdown notification; then my computer restarted and gave me a message saying my computer shut down unexpectedly and I needed to restart the installation; or something like that. Anyway, same message I got with the other ISO.

I've tried to install it using virtualBox cause I only have 32-bit but it's telling me it can't install cause my CPU isn't 64-bit capable...I burned the ISO to a disk and then installed it to VirtualBox. Is it the wrong way??:crazy:

Nar, you could use the ISO to install it as a virtual machine using VirtualBox. :)

    Best computer I could ever want.
I installed 6.2.7989.0.amd64fre.winmain.110421-1825.iso . Runs fast but some errors when using Internet Exploder.
But that is why we have to go thru a long beta. I can't wait for Build in September.

I'm guessing that could be your issue. When you blow something up, it normally wont work correctly after that :D
