Ixthusdan Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Couple of things to clear the air. 1) Run md5sum on all three files before burning. This is more than just file size 2) It is possible to have burn errors. Do all errors occur from the same cd? Many suggest burning slower to reduce errors. I have not burned slower myself, but I have had errors that corrected upon reburning. I have found 1/3 of my cd's burn with errors (not just linux!) so I should burn slower.

willisoften Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 I'm having the exact same problem. I'm using a retail standard pack and used the disks a while ago to install 9.0 on my laptop. I have had a few problems reading files using my CD burner before. SO: I might try creating a install floppy and run install from a different drive. I know this doesn't really make sense but I'm getting desperate. I might have to just reinstall 8.2 which worked well on this machine. Edit: I just noticed that some people had the same problem switched drives and everything was happy bunnies, so maybe it is worth a try. A while ago you could see the tracks burned or pressed on a cd nowdays they're as smooth as mirrors. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
