Dear friends:
I have been trying to burn the Gentoo 2006 ISO image to a Memorex 700 MB
CD using Nero 5.5. I first tried to use other CD burning programs. They
all gave the same error message: "No media in the drive" or "Drive is
empty. Please insert CD". Of course, the CD is in the drive. So, when
Nero says: " No media in the drive. Please insert CD" the drive opens up
and I close the drive (or replace the CD with a new CD). But it
repeatedly refuses to proceed. I also tried to uninstall and install my
Nero 5.0 and then Nero 5.5 to no avail.
And yet, believe it or not, I did successfully burn an ISO image of the
Gentoo Minimal InstallCD (49 MB). It took some effort (same error
message) but finally succeeded.
I could install the minimal 50 meg bootable CD. I know it works. But I
would prefer to install the 697 MB LiveCD. Here are two images with data
on what's going on:

I would very much appreciate your help. Is this a hardware or software
problem and is it fixable? At least, can I fix it enough to burn the
Gentoo CD?
Thank you again.
Benjamin
