I have a Lite-On 12x burner, and a Sony 40x burner. The Lite-On chokes on
quite a few iso's these days, but works on others all right (sometimes
slowing down the burn to 1x fixes things, sometimes not). The Sony burns
everything ok at 16x (I bought 1000 16x cdr's a year ago, they aren't all
gone yet :-)). Your drive's laser is probably a little weak (or dirty).
FWIW...

So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even
built
with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll
give
it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.'
And
they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we
don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'

Subject: Re: [Cooker] Beta 3 CD's?
I have those cd's and I can't reliably burn Beta3 cd's. I tried, then
gave up and ran makecd on a local mirror of cooker, using 73000 as
the disk size. They worked just fine. Although I'd have to say my
computer is anything but normal! I have a hi-val 32x burner that burns
disks just fine, but won't read them with I boot with them. Even the
disks that I make using makecd. But I have an old iomega 4x burner that
does not burn anything but coasters, and it reads and works fine with
the disks. Strange. I think that problem has to do with some odd
kernel bug related to the 32x cd burner and DMA mode.
Anyway, I think it has more to do with the burner than with the disks,
generally.
Just my 2 cents worth...

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the beta 3 CD's pre-burned.
My
system is having a hard time with the 700MB images. I checked
cheapbytes
but they're only up to beta 2. Any help would be appreciated.

You can get some cheap 24x 700MB CDRs from Walmart which work fine.
