I have run into similar problems in the last couple of years, and my friend
actually had the same problem last week. Usually the disk images are OK, and
swapping out the CD-ROM on the computer fixes the problem. I don't know
whether to blame the drive manufacturers, the CDR manufacturers, or
something in the Linux distros, but it is an annoying situation. So my
advice is, try one of your already burned CDs, but use a different CD drive.

Hi,

I'm not trying to create rookie spam here, but I couldn't see any way to
filter this email to the appropriate parties.  I could really use some help.
I have tried to download and burn iso images at least a half dozen times for
a few distros of Linux.  No matter what I do, I can't get any of them to
boot.  I have tried some user forums and followed all kinds of advice to no
avail.  I have tried different disk burning programs, different speeds, bit
torrent downloads, and the list goes on.  Does anyone have a clean copy of a
current release for a user-friendly Linux distribution that is easily
understood by newbies.  Or, does anyone have a "silver bullet" for getting a
clean iso image disk for installation.  I'm sick of Windows and want to
change, but currently frustrated by obtaining Linux.  Please help.

 

Regards,

 

Cam
