I'm afraid padding isn't the culprit; it seems harmless. It was on when I burnt psyche disks, and the effect seems to be a few kilobytes of NUL appended. Consequently, the result of md5sum doesn't match what's in MD5SUM. But the MD5 sum agrees if you trim to the true length of the image, e.g.,

Actually, I did verify that the CDs could not be read on my work laptop, which due to company orders, must run Windows XP. I could read some folders. Booting the laptop from the CDs though and running the Red Hat media tests produced consistent failures. Whenever I have tried to install from a CD t

I've been following the CD-RW burning issue and have some additional input: I have removed magicdev and turned off autorun. I went to the store and bought a *brand new* CD-RW - a Memorex internal IDE 52x/24x/52x beauty. Installed it and started burning CDs at speeds ranging from 6x to 32x. Resul
