Download it here: http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter...are/md5sum.exe
Put it in your windows/system32 or /windows/command folder. (In XP it's C:/Windows/system32)

Now open up a command console by typing "cmd" into the run menu. (You can go to Start-->Run).
Before you start running the commands, make sure that the prompt says
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\username>
Enter this command
Code:
cd \path\to\cddir
Note: In Windows/MSDOS, you always type with the backslash (\) not the forwardslash (/). Example in M$: \blah\blah Example in Unix/Linux: /blah/blah
Now you are in the directory with the cd iso and md5sum.
Enter this command
Code:
md5sum -c filename.md5
(Replace "filename" with the name of the md5sum)
Make sure that when you download the CD iso to download the md5sum and place it in the same directory.

I hope that this will help people who want to check the md5sum in Windows.
