the second one describes the number of sectors the image had before it

behind the user data, the checksum of the original image can be
obtained as follows (using the command line of GNU/Linux):<br>
<tt>head -c $((2048*121353)) medium.iso | md5sum</tt><br>
The first parameter for <i>head</i> is the sector size (2048)
multiplied with the original image length (121353). This property
of augmented images can also be used to cut off the error correction data:<br>
<tt>head -c $((2048*121353)) medium.iso >stripped_image.iso</tt>
