Turned off Pad Tracks in XCD Roast and tried again with both Imation and Verbatim disks. The burns completed with no errors whatsoever, but the CDs all still fail on the Red Hat media tests. I can read the CDs though using both my existing Red Hat system and my laptop running Win XP. Could these CDs actually be OK and that the problem is really that the Media tester in Phoebe 3 is just reporting falsely?
