<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think I've run into a bad DVD burner/reader
and maybe someone can help. At home I've got 5-internal DVD burners
and at work I have 1-external DVD burner at my disposal. Of these 6-burners
I'm pretty sure I know the brand names of most (2-Sony; 1-HP; 1-eMachine;
1-Pioneer; 1-LiteOn) based upon the machines they are in. I know the Sony's
are the same even though 1 is internal and the other external.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The burner I seem to be have the problem
with is the Pioneer. It doesn't seem to process a Fedora 9 x86_64
or CentOS 5.2 x86_64 installation DVD - even if the thing was burned on
it! All of the blank DVDs are +R and I use Verbatim, HP, Imation,
and TDK. Currently the machine that houses the Pioneer is the only
x86_64 machine I have, so I have no way to test on another machine.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The only install DVD that is working
is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10. I want to install CentOS 5 as it's the
most like the Red Hat 5.1 I support at work and I want to run Oracle on
my machine. How can I verify a x86_64 install DVD on a non-x86_64 machine
(I've done the md5sum and sha1sum process at DVD creation time)? Is
it because I've burned a x86_64 DVD on a i386 machine causing me a problem?
Should I just try -R DVDs? Should I lower the burn speed? Is
the phantom of the DVD haunting me?</font>
