FC2 media check fails on one system

[RDD IT]

I actually did try burning one of those CDs at a lower speed (4x, I believe 
-- should've mentioned that originally).  I am *almost* positive that I've 
got the drive set up as master, but I will doublecheck this at home tonight.
Would it help to know the detailed specs of the machine?  All I can come up 
with off the top of my head is that it's a Duron 650.  I'll post more 
tonight hopefully..

Thanks for the suggestion....
