I burned fc14 iso and installed it from DVD.
I saw no such problem.

I believe you may have a bad burn.

Did you run the media check from the banner that pops up?

If not, I suggest you do so.

If that banner never pops up,  you have a bad burn.

To burn more reliably,  find another machine that can burn the iso, and 
that can reduce recording speed to 1 or 2.
Slower recording speeds produce less errors in recording.
