First, the media has to be copied correctly and there have been a few suggestions about that....however, I get the impression you are talking about the Media verification done during install or by your media verification in Yast in your current system. If that says it is bad then there is a third possibility: The ISO file itself that you created the copy from could be defective and you can make as many good copies of that bad file and still end up with a bad install disk. So IF you are referring to the verify during install or media check indicating problems, the next step would be to ensure the ISO file was good to begin with. I don't have it handy right now, but there is a MD5SUM available for the iso itself which could be compared to the one you have on your disk. If they don't match, don't use it to make more coasters with :)
