On the off chance that your Linux install is now hosed, there are some md5sum
checkers out there for Windows as well:
Command Line: www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html#win
GUI Freeware: http://snipurl.com/9l54
GUI Open Source: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16882
The first GUI app looks like it may be a bit more friendly and featureful than
the open source version, but I honestly didn't look that closely.

I have a problem with the Iso-Images I have for 10.1. I downloaded them
with Linux and burned them with K3B. However, when updating the 2nd CD
failed. First I thought that it must be something related to the update
from 10.0 to 10.1 and made a clean install but than the 2nd as well as
the 3rd CD failed. I downloaded two new Isos with Windows and burned
them with Nero, but again, the 2nd CD failed.
I managed to install 10.1 nicely within a couple of hours installing
everything via urpmi (it was fun even though time consuming due to the
fact that I needed gcc to compile the 855wrap and had to remember all
the names of the software I wanted).
Anyway, I still want to find out why those Isos I made didn't work or if
this problem happened to some other people as well?

One place to start is to compare the md5sum's of the original iso on
the ftp site with the one you have downloaded to your machine, and
then compare that to the cd you just burnt.
I have had troubles with the cd burn gui's so I just use the
commandline.
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc path_to_file.iso
/dev/hdc is the path to my burner replace with what ever path yours
is. Theres options for speed= and -v verbose mode, etc. read manpage
for cdrecord if interested.
