I can't remember details, but it's possible that the CD will burn correctly and still fail media check. Something about certain burners in certain situations burning extra blank data to finish a track and messing up the checksums. I had the problem with one of the FC3 test ISOs, downloaded it twice, and still got the same problem. I've installed (several times) with both "bad" CDs and never had a problem. This may not help you, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
