root.tar.xs

Hi. I'm getting an error message when I extract NOOBS after downloading the zip file. It reads:

Data error : os/Raspbian/root.tar.xz

I take it this is why I'm having no success with the card when use it on my new RPi 2 to try to load the OS. Is there another way I can get that file on my card? Thanks

Try a fresh download or NOOBS, run sha1sum to confirm you have a complete zip file.
