I think I've run into a bad DVD burner/reader and maybe someone can
help. At home I've got 5-internal DVD burners and at work I have
1-external DVD burner at my disposal. Of these 6-burners I'm pretty sure
I know the brand names of most (2-Sony; 1-HP; 1-eMachine; 1-Pioneer;
1-LiteOn) based upon the machines they are in. I know the Sony's are the
same even though 1 is internal and the other external.
The burner I seem to be have the problem with is the Pioneer. It
doesn't seem to process a Fedora 9 x86_64 or CentOS 5.2 x86_64
installation DVD - even if the thing was burned on it! All of the blank
DVDs are +R and I use Verbatim, HP, Imation, and TDK. Currently the
machine that houses the Pioneer is the only x86_64 machine I have, so I
have no way to test on another machine.
The only install DVD that is working is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10. I want
to install CentOS 5 as it's the most like the Red Hat 5.1 I support at
work and I want to run Oracle on my machine. How can I verify a x86_64
install DVD on a non-x86_64 machine (I've done the md5sum and sha1sum
process at DVD creation time)? Is it because I've burned a x86_64 DVD
on a i386 machine causing me a problem? Should I just try -R DVDs?
Should I lower the burn speed? Is the phantom of the DVD haunting me?
TIA,
Gene
I had a problem with burning DVD's and it turned out to be the power
supply. The voltage was at the lower limit as measured with a volt
meter but when burning DVD's would go below the required voltage. It
was a pretty new power supply. A new drive didn't fix the problem.
The BIOS and sensor both said the supply was within spec but using a
Fluke showed otherwise.
Something to check.
