there is a file on the CD titled 5d5sum.txt
is this the file I look at to see if the md5sum is correct? Which one would I compare?  Would it be possible to compare the numeral before the cd is burned?

This is the contents of md5sum.txt:

Why are there so many md5sum?
if this is the correct file the md5 sum is incorrect.
This is what it says the md5sium is:

Is there someway to ensure it is correct?
