The disk in my example pic above had a maximum of 16X burn speed!! Talking about burnable DVD's here btw! If you follow this advice, you may well save yourself hours of heartache; head scratching and countless posts in forums like this one.
Regards Wolfman. I made the mistake of buying such DVDs from the local Poundland and ended up with a small pile of useless pieces of plastic before I threw the remainder out …. A drum of cheap knock offs is like playing Russian roulette with your data.
I might have been lucky. I use maxell at default settings to burn There appear to be no errors. An official flavour of the Ubuntu family.
Ubuntu is a trademark of Canonical Ltd. Using Brasero burning app, you should see something like this window after clicking on "Properties" and as you can see, there are several options of which you should select the lowest number, in the this case 4 X: The disk in my example pic above had a maximum of 16X burn speed!!

Puppy Video Tutorial - How to Burn the Puppy CD, using BurnCDCC in Windows Another, less often seen mistake is to extract the iso files to a hard drive, or extract the image to a directory using a utility like isobuster, then attempt to burn the directories and files to a cdr disk.
This will not work. Also, just putting the iso files on a hard drive does not make them bootable or usable. Make sure that you have the bios set correctly to boot the cd drive before the hard drive. Many systems do not do this by default. The order can be floppy, cdrom, then hdd0, or in older systems if you have two choices cdrom, then hdd0. Make sure to save your changes and have the cd disk in the drive when the system re-boots.
What Burning Software are you using? The software that you are using to burn the iso file drastically affects how the iso files are burned to a cdr disk. Equally as important, burn the images at a slow speed - such as 4X or 8x. The images do not burn correctly if they are burned at too high speed. You may need to change the burning speed of your software for the burn to assure that the speed is set low enough to properly burn the images. Do not choose any options in the burning software to make the CD bootable, as the "burn image" function will automatically lay out the files properly and make the cd bootable for you.
If you are using a Linux distro to burn your images, try K3b. It automatically checks the md5sum of the image, so you can check it against the author's verification numbers.
It is now included in most Linux distros. If you are using Puppy, then you should use Burniso2CD because then you can't go wrong. If you elect to use Windows this is your first Linux iso burn , then try Nero. Good for those newbies that don't want the hassle in figuring all this out! While this may seem obvious, the quality of the media you burn the iso image to can determine the resulting quality and usability of your burn image on a disk, as well as the ability of your cdrom drive to read the image.
Always use quality cdrom media. Try to resist buying cheap media, just because the price was right. Make sure that the media is compatible with your CDRW drive in terms of speed and type. If you have 4X rated cdr disks, you can only burn at that top speed. If you have faster rated media, burn the iso's at 4X or 8X. Always attempt to boot the burned image with the same cdrw drive that you burned the images on.
If you burned the images on a cdrw drive, then attempt to boot the image on another system with a CDROM drive that is older, this can be a reason for a variety of boot errors that you will see when trying to install the distro. Laptops are another issue.
On my Thinkpad, I had a stock 24X cdrom drive. It would not handle bootable iso images burned on CDRW disks. Where and how did you get the ISO's and download them?
The least obvious issue. Occasionally you can get a bad download of the iso image. Not common, but it happens. The system will boot the cdr, but fail at some point during the install. Modem connections tend to be interrupted when downloading large files such as iso images. So, don't be surprised if the image download is not intact. Try to use a download manager when fetching images, if you can, so if the download gets interrupted, you can resume the download where it left off.
Opera is probably the most reliable browser for downloads. Did you verify the iso's that you downloaded that the checksums were OK?
