cause of errors?

[Master of Reality]

I tried burning all three Fedora CDs at school on "Microsoft Windows XP" using Nero burning ROM and when i booted up off a boot disk (computers werent capable of CD startup) and loaded the first CD and it was checking itself it came up with some errors. And when i start trying to install anyway anaconda exits abnormally. Any ideas as to why errors would be on the CD, im gonna try again tomorrow on the same computer (my cd burner isnt working) with a CD-RW so it wont be a waste of a CD if it doesnt works.

I have found it rare to get a good burn of Red Hat or Fedora CDs on the first try. For some reason I always end up with a coaster or two. Of course first check the MD5 sum with the md5sum util (there should be a Windows version on linuxiso.org if nowhere else). If they sum up and you get errors when running the initial "check for errors" thing on first bootup then you are wasting your time trying to go any farther. Stick another blank in and try again. Burn at the slowest speed usually results in a good burn.

actually... now that i think of it... its a 52X burn... and i never checked to see if the CDs could handle that.

well... apparently burning 48X max CDs at 52X will give them errors. We burned the images on better CDS as well as slower, and it worked... eventually.
The computer we were trying to install Fedora on made Anaconda crash, but for some strange reason it worked on another computer (We had no shortage of comps).
