Ahh... I have been meaning to ask the same question:
Anybody know ho you checksum a CD on wind*ws?

I wasn't able to md5 h:   , for example.

Checking the ISO was no prob, but once burnt to cd, there seemed to be now
way to ref the drice letter.

> If the numbers do not match, does that mean an error downloading or
burning?

If the numbers don't match, then there was an error somewhere.  If you think
it could have been the download, then you should md5 the iso images:

http://www.etree.org/md5com.html has md5sum.exe along with help.
(i used md5sum -c -w file-where-checksum-is at the dos prompt.)

If it's the cd your leery of, and there's no windows utility to check it on
the cdrom, and you want to see if that's your problem, you could try
creating an image of the cd onto your harddrive, and md5sum the iso there...

hope this helps,
huff
