What are the disks you are trying to burn rated at? Perhaps the disks can't handle the speed of the burner. I have burned ISO's on 3 different burners, a Samsung 24x in my 2.2Ghz Dell laptop, a 24x A-Open in an Intel Celeron 466 and a Samsung 52x in a AMD 2800+. All CD's burned without problems at max speed and all of the cd's worked great. As a side note I used Nero 5 and 6 on Win XP on all three computers. The CD's themselves were either Imation or Maxell. If 3 burners across 4 computers have indeed failed, there has to be some sort of common link that is causing the failure. My guess is the media itself at this point. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chadley Wilson Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:13 AM To: fedora-list Subject: Re: a lot of problems can be traced to On Mon, 2004-02-09 at 17:32, alan wrote: > On Mon, 9 Feb 2004, amazing powers of observation wrote: > > > the burning of the iso image on to cd. checking the midsums and all i > > have found it better to burn the cd at ratio 1 to 1. if you go to fast > > it blurs the data or looses information. remember burn slow and your > > install will improve > > If that is the case, then you need a new burner.

The funny thing is its no linux because Windoze also does this If you say the hardware is not operating properly then there must be a manufacturing flaw in all these device, which is not impossible. I will let the manufacturers know (Mitsumi, LG , MSi) My 2 cents Chadley -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
