The purpose of an MD5SUM is to make sure you have a good download. If the original MD5SUM is "xyz" then your download should match and have an MD5SUM of "xyz".

If you have downloaded and the original had one MD5SUM and your download has a different MD5SUM something is wrong and it will probably not work.

make a bootable disk of the available image and see if it runs fine in live mode. if it works fine then you can install it.

Here are the hashes of the ISOs:

If the hash is different then the data has been damaged during download. Redownload and retest. I suggest you use torrents as the protocol adds extra data checking and can help a LOT
