Is this a WAG or is it a known problem? The answer will change my intended
course of action.

I had trouble coming to this conclusion because I have used the CDs and the
Drive many time recently, and it was burned at Nero's slowest rate.
However, I left the system powered up for 4 hours while I went to eat, pout
and
pray; convinced the paranoids were out to get me. When I returned the 'no
change' mode worked fine but about 70% into the load I got more errors.
It looks as though OLD FAITHFUL DRIVE is sick or been playing in the
dirt too long; and has cold allergies. The shop temperature dropped to
~66 F overnight.
Thanks to all you Guys, I just needed one more clue.

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
