Let me rephrase step 1:

1.  It is advised to check the md5sum with the freeware Md5summer, 
available at http://www.md5summer.org/. It will save you a lot of hassle 
to check it, especially if you are a newbie.  That way, if anything is 
not working well, you will know for sure it is not your original ISO 
image which is corrupt, since you will have taken the step before the 
burn process to check the integrity of the ISO image with Md5summer (or 
any other md5sum software)  (see wiki for md5sum details).

That's better (I hope).
