For simple MD5 sum, you can do something like...

1. On Windows, download this MD5.exe file into your c:\windows\system32 
directory

http://www.diamondcs.com.au/download.php?file=md5console

Then run something like the following

start->run->cmd
cd c:\path\to\file\
md5 file

and then look at that hash

For different hashes, try this method:

2. go to http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/ and download md5deep zip file

unzip to your c:\windows\system32 directory and run md5deep.exe similar 
to how you did before!

Hope that helps!
