Απάντ.: f20 - Anyone else having problems installing x64

[Kostas Sfakiotakis]

Hi, back in the early days of CDR media, we used to consider some drives even incompatible with certain colors. It was a long time ago so if I recall the dark blue ones were the best choose and the silver the worst. Where did your elephant memory recalled that ?? It should have remained in a small drawer in the smallest corner of your brain. Am not sure though brands (  HP, TDK,...) have to do with it, I used to use many of them , just the color.

Also check the color of the disk media. Sometimes the color of the
media screws up the wavelength of the reflected laser so it doesn't
register correctly. We've had problems with that using cheap DVD-Rs
(we stick with TDK or HP now). It was a huge problem back in the early
days of CD-R media.
