Whats the best way to check a iso before i burn it ,i know theres a check you can do but dont no how,It's just lately ive been downloading a lot of corupt iso distros and im wasteing discs.

sdousley

check where u downloaded it for the "md5sum"

then in the command line type:

obviouslyt changinf filename.iso to the relevent filename/path to file if in a different directory.

this will return a 32 character long string which you can match up to the md5sum on the internet. If the matchm the download's good, if not, probably not good.
