OK, maybe it's just me, but I am having problems with the ISO Images.  I have downloaded them, did the MD5 checks and they were good.  Then I went and burned them to CD and none of the CD's passed the media test!  Twice!  AHHHHHHHH! I downloaded them from mirrors.kernel.org, but who cares if the MD5 checks, right?  I am burning them on a Windows Box using Roxio CD Creator 5 and burning the image.  But no good has come of it, twice. Talk about frustration! Any suggestions?  BTW, I am not new to Linux or Redhat, I remember downloading over phone lines and using floppies years ago, so I am no novice to this. Thanks!

Previous answers to questions like this have suggested one of:

Not using 700MB CD-Rs
    Using non-name brand blank CD-Rs
    Trying to burn at too fast a speed.

Is your software running in a mode where it is burning the image, or is 
it perhaps just copying the file *.iso to the CD.  When you insert the 
CD and look at it in a file manager, do you see the expected files and 
folders, or do you see a file named something.iso?

These are probably not related to your problem, but they are what comes 
to mind.

I had this problem in the past and it was a flaky cdrom drive.  Replaced 
the drive and the media check and install worked fine.

Maybe there's something wrong with your drive. I've had a burner once 
that would burn perfectly, but upon reading the discs, there was always 
trouble. Reading the discs on other drives worked with issues. Try 
another drive. Maybe your drives reading capabilities are going sour. Or 
burn at 1x, use standard good-quality CDRs, and hope for the best. If 
burning at 1x still results in what seem to be coasters, try another drive.

The best I can tell you is read your manual on burning iso files

Its roxio, It has a funny handling system for ISO,
I had the same problem, All the isos created with roxio could not be
burned with a different app.
Download nero or cdrecord.
