The hash algorithm used for the Fedora 12 *-CHECKSUM files is SHA-256,
not SHA-1.  You will need to use a program that can calculate a
SHA-256 checksum.

(The Hash: SHA1 line is part of the PGP signature.  It has no relation
to the sha256 checksum data in the *-CHECKSUM files.
https://fedoraproject.org/verify has details on how to verify
downloads and does point out that sha256sum is what should be used.)

We are currently working on a build of sha256sum for Windows which we
can provide for users on Windows.  In the interim, you may be able to
use the sha256sum.exe program linked at:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en-US-draft.html#sect-Burning_ISO_images_to_disc-Validating_the_Files

Note that since we don't provide that binary, we cannot vouch for its
authenticity.
