Hi,
I am new to this and seeking advice.
I downloaded the 6 CD images ok and run the checksum and they all were ok.
I burned the images to CD and only CD 1 and 6 show no errors on the
media check.
I re-burnt CD 2 to see if it was a glitch but the new disk also came up
with errors.
The machines I have do not have DVD drives only CD
Before I try again and spend a fortune on CDs wanted to know if anybody
has successfully downloaded, burnt and installed from these images.
This may be caused by the burning program either using too much padding
during the burn, or not using any. As I recall the simple check in the
install has a problem due to this, and get an error reading the last
block. Sorry I can't recall the details, my burning and verifying
methods both take steps to prevent this and I never verify media.
So three hints:
1 - if your burning program has an option to pad the data to a multiple
of some size, try that.
2 - most Windows programs need to be told to burn an image, by default
they tend to create a CD with a single file (the image you wanted) on
it. By any chance did you forget to do that?
3 - if you are paying more than 15-20 cents for a blank CD you need a
new supplier. It's pretty hard to spend a fortune on CDs at that rate. ;-)
Hope some of this is useful, if not I would just go ahead with the
install and don't verify the CDs.
