Problems with buring FC4 test ISOs

I've been having problems burning ISOs for FC4 test 2 and test 3. If I
download ISOs to Windows XP and then used Nero 6 to burn the CDs/DVDs, they
failed the integrity check when booted up. If, on the other hand, I boot
into Linux (SuSE 9.1 in this instance) and run K3b as root (kdesu k3b) I can
burn the exact same ISO images to blank media using the exact same hardware
and the new CD/DVD will successfully pass its integrity check. As stated I
downloaded the DVD ISO on WinXP using Firefox. When the first burn failed I
rebooted into SuSE 9.1, mounted the Windows file system to get to the ISO
and burned a second successful copy.
I'm currently installing FC4 test 3 using the good DVD. So far so good. DVD
installation is so superior to the CD installation shuffle. It's worth the
time to download or buy the DVD.
Well, it just finished successfully installing. That's the fastest I've ever
dropped a Linux on any box, regardless of distribution, and it's as fast if
not faster than Windows. FC4t3 seems a lot snappier when booting and logging
in as well. Gnome seems cleaner, but I'm still going to switch over to KDE
once I've got other items reconfigured. Overall this is a very good
beginning for Fedcora Core 4.
