you are running your md5 on a burned disk, you need to run it on the .iso file and make sure it matches the md5 from the download site. There is a way to match the md5 of the entire contents of a burned cd to an iso, but I'm not sure how to do it, but k3b does it for verification.

If you are burning the iso from windows you will have to download a md5sum utility to check the md5sum. I don't know the name of any cause I use linux, but I'm sure someone will pipe in with some suggestions, or you could google and find one.

I use Authent-I. It seems to work well on Windows.
