At the beginning of a disk image file is the sum of all the bits in that file. The program will then checksum to see if the sum is what is really in the image. If it is off, it reports "invalid checksum"

If you downloaded it from a website, it likely was corrupted during download, and I would suggest trying to download it again. If you downloaded it from a peer to peer network, the file may be a fake.

thx man

you can try skipping the checksum verification in order to mount the dmg.

the whole point with checksum is to make sure it's actually the file you downloaded...and isn't being corrupted or something being added to it before it gets to your computer....why would you possibly want to disable checksum?
