Man, I can hardly tell what your tryin to accomplish ;)
Seems your tryin to make an image of an image ;)
If you burned the iso to disk with Disk at Once, eg,
cdrecord -v -eject speed=12 dev=0,0,0 -dao
....then the md5sum should still check when you run
'md5sum /dev/scd0' (assuming your burner is scd0)
Use your burner, not the cdrom (if you have one) to check
md5sum. It's a more reliable reader. Then you can check the CDrom
(again assuming you have a separate one), by putting the CD in
and runnin 'dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=name_of.iso'
That'll recreate the iso on your HDD in the dir you're in. Then
run 'md5sum name_of.iso' and you should still get the correct
md5sum. You can use anything you want for 'name_of'. If that
md5sum fails, then it's your CDrom that's suspect.

IIRC, autorun.exe is for starting the install from Windoze.
Leave it in otherwise a new hdlist for the iso will be needed
(genhdlist).
