FC3 CD Media Check

[Rich]

I had the same problem yesterday as my previous post indicated. The MD5's 
checked good on all of the iso files. I used Nero to burn the CD's on XP at 
40x the first time and all of the CD's failed the media test. I then slowed 
my burn down to 4x on Nero and all of the CD's still failed. In each case I 
started the Linux install with the "linux ide=nodma" parameter. It did not 
help. Finally, I decided to go to my old Linux installation and  try to burn 
the CD's there. I used X-CD-Roast. Long story short....Success! The moral of 
the story is.....
