I returned my HDD for replacement, and am now running the original<br>
drive that I was getting I/O Messages on when I ran md5sum.<br>

I just downloaded Linuxmint 14. Ran md5sum. md5sum matched No error messages.<br>

I do not see anything that indicates I/O errors.<br>
<br>
Am I missing anything?<br>
<br>
Back on Dec 2 2012 when I got error messages after running md5sum, I<br>
may have downloading via wireless to my router. Don't remember. This<br>
time I connected with Ethernet cable.<br>
