You can download a free MD5 tool from here, and all you do is run it, open your .CDI image and generate a MD5 hash code (just click the button ;-) and then submit your .CDI image to us along with the MD5 hash. We can then do the same process our side, checking that the MD5 hash matches which confirms there is no data loss in transport via the internet.
