I had the exact same problem, using two different CD burners on the same machine. Eventually, I tried just burning the ISO's on my older laptop, and they worked just fine. Having wasted so much time trying to get working CDs originally, I never investigated the root cause of them not being burned correctly on the first machine, so haven't got a solution unfortunately. Maybe just try burning from a different computer.

However, this last batch of ISOs came from a site reported in this list as being a reliable mirror, so I'm going to try skipping the mediacheck again and see what happens. If that fails, I'll get Roxio out, turn on the write verification so I *KNOW* my CD is properly burned. If that fails, then I'll try using a different CDROM drive in my target machine. I seriously doubt that's the problem because I had Windows 2000 Enterprise Server on this box and had no problems with the drive at all. But, one never knows, so I swap it out and see.... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shaffer, Paul D Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 4:09 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: RE: ISO Image Problem Try skipping mediacheck, just for grins and giggles. There is a strong possibility it will successfully complete the install anyway. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Walter Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 2:06 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: ISO Image Problem > M.Hockings: > > I would make sure that you are burning the CD at or below it's max > burn speed.

I've also tried starting the install process which takes you into the mediacheck anyway. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
