I don't think it's lying, it's just that Sony isn't particularly known for high quality optical media. Check the country of origin. If it's India, Malaysia or China the problem is probably the media, particularly if it's been sitting around for awhile. If it was made in Japan or Taiwan, however, I'd continue troubleshooting. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
