my similar experience: I was recently trying to add 4.5 as a second OS on my laptop. It has a combo DVD reader/CD burner drive. For years it has produced perfect burned CD's under Windows. I burned install45.iso - disk was unreadable. Downloaded a linux live CD image - burned - unreadable. I now have a stack of about 20 coasters made with 4 different CD burning programs. Then I did some driver updates on Windows. The driver that fixed the problem was the SiS IDE driver. This is on an Alienware Area 51m laptop. Windows Update could not fix this problem. I had to find the drivers direct from the manufacturer of the chipset - SiS. The drive functioned normally for everything except burning.
my advice: check your assumptions verify your image files don't give up Bruce --- dera...@cvs.openbsd.org wrote: From: Theo de Raadt <dera...@cvs.openbsd.org> To: Jason Dixon <ja...@dixongroup.net> cc: neal hogan <n...@lambdaserver.com>, PJ <af.gour...@videotron.ca>, Marcus Watts <m...@umich.edu>, misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: boot disk ???
