Next use dd to read the entire CD and pipe it into md5sum $ dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=331036 | md5sum 331036+0 records in 331036+0 records out fc9c2c23b02d2a35b75845530db81743 - the CD does not need to be mounted to perform the last command. > Hello seawolf-list, > > I recently downloading a .iso file and wrote it using cd burning > software to a CD-R.
