I put all of the details in a previous post.
Yes, is the answer to all of your questions above.

I recently used preupgrade to move to FC10.

So, now when I put in the DVD (DVD +R) for FC10 and reboot, I get the 
following:
=====================================================================
ISOLINUX 3.61 ---- Blah-Blah

isolinux: Disk error 04, AX = 4211, drive 82

Boot failed: press a key to retry ...
=====================================================================

Sometimes when I reboot I get the option for the Graphical install.  
When I press <enter>,  it just reboots again.

When I burned the DVD (DVD +R) with k3b, I used the same laptop.

I next put in a DVD that I burned to DVD -R:  I make it to the graphical 
install screen:
Next I choose install or upgrade and existing system.
Next I do the media check and it passes.
Now, I have a Welcome to Fedora for x86_64 "curses like" blue screen. 
I wait about 8 minutes as I hear the DVD being accesses. 
Then I get  "Running the anaconda 11.4.1.62, the Fedora system installer 
- please wait" message at the bottom of the screen.

Now, here comes the error:
======================================
exec of anaconda failed: Input/output error
install exited abnormally [1/1]
disabling swap ...
unmounting filesystems...
blah
blah
..
...
you may safely reboot your system
======================================

A second attempt yields the same results.

Thanks for your help,
Ernesto
