Yo cannot use the same md5sum, because that md5sum is generated from the
.iso file and you did not burn your CD as data CD contaning an .iso file.
If so, your CD would not be bootable. But if you burned your CD as
bootable CD there is no longer an .iso file and you will have to use
md5sum.txt of your CD and check /every/ file inside your CD.
