Joining windows xp cd and arch cd problem.

I wanted making only one CD with both Windows XP and Arch linux Ftp setup.
I modded my windows xp installation CD and using diskemu I can start the installation or after a time out just boot.
I wanted adding arch so I downloaded the iso file, extracted its boot sector, copied the folders in the WXP cd and added the diskemu menu option to start the arch boot sector.

Trying to start the arch boot section gives this error:

What does it mean? Can it be avoided?

That means that ISOLINUX is doing MD5 sums but it's it finds one wrong. Give me a favor. Download though BitTorrent!

I did download via bittorrent... And the md5 checks pass.
