Is there a way to check if the ISO file is corrupted or not?

I'm downloading W7 ISO files.
Is there a way to check if the ISO file is corrupted or not without having to extract them?

That's precisely the primary uses of hashes: ensure that a download is not corrupted. That's why developers publish MD5 and other hashes of their products.

A secondary reason is to check to see if a file downloaded from any place other than the developer site is the exactly the same as the one available from the developer.

HashTab 3 is excellent for this: right click on the file, select "Properties", click "File Hashes" and after the hashes have been calculated, paste the published hash into the "Hash Comparison" box.
