Hi,
I'm trying to burn a copy of Xubuntu as a rescue disk. My laptop
(Thinkpad R60) is running Lenny, with KB3 installed. I also have access
to a variety of machines running Windows. I have tried no less than a
dozen times to burn this @#$% CD, and every time has failed. I have
tried the following:
Different downloaded image files (all pass md5sum checks)
Different machines/cd burners/OS (windows/debian)
Different CD media - HP, Sony, Memorex, no-name, mostly CD-R but a few
CD-RW
Different burn speeds - usually the lowest possible for a given CD, but
also medium and top speed.
Different burning programs (KB3, command line, various MSWindows apps)
A typical result is burning the CD with KB3, which appears to work, but
then complains that the disk image does not match the downloaded ISO
when the verification check completes. If I try and boot these CDs, they
get me as far as the Xubuntu opening screen, but when I use the built-in
'check CD integrity' it fails. Trying to boot anyways fails, it just
hangs.
As I've said, I've tried multiple computers, OS, media, burning
programs, downloaded images (Ubuntu as well as Xubuntu). Does anyone
have any other suggestions for burning a CD? This makes no sense to me.
Thanks,
Tyler
