Try downloading the ISO file and checking the md5sum before you burn the ISO image. That will help you rule out download vs. CD burning problems. If the downloaded file is corrupted, the CD will certainly be bad.

I assume you know what you need to burn a good CD, because you were successful with the other images. But, if your download is good, search the archives about booting with 'ide=nodma' as a boot option. I found that even though CD#2 was good, it would fail mediacheck without turning off DMA access to the CD drive. I don't know the details, but the archives will tell the story.
It is possible that you have good CDs after all, check at each step to make sure. Good luck. Erik
