No, you burn the ISO image alone, using an application like NERO to 'Burn from Image'. The md5 file is there so you can verify that 1) you got the complete file and 2) ensures
some security in knowing that you got the file the server intended you to get, with the verified md5 sum. The person in charge of uploading the ISO to the server also uploads a good md5 value, you dowload the ISO image and run md5 against the image you have, compare the two. Usually you can find an application called 'md5sum' on any linux installation, used for just this sort of thing; you can also get a DOS version, check google.
