Hi,
My OS 10.3 DVD disk is corrupt and cannot be loaded.
Kevin ,
check this out :
3.1 Polycarbonate (Plastic) Substrate Layer
The polycarbonate substrate makes up most of the disc, including the
area that is read by the laser (opposite the la bel side on CDs). It is
present on both sides of a DVD, even a "single-sided" disc with a label
on one side. This substrate provides the disc depth necessary to
maintain laser focus on the metal and data layers. It also gives the
disc enough strength to remain flat. Anything in or on the
polycarbonate layer that interferes with the ability of the laser to
focus on the data layer will result in the misreading of data.
Accordingly, fingerprints, smudges, or scratches, as well as such
substances as dirt, dust, solvents, and excessive moisture (which
polycarbonate will absorb), can interfere with the ability of the laser
to read the data. Contact of any foreign material with the
polycarbonate substrate layer should be avoided.
So have you tried a good polish of the surface to clear any marks ???
You didn't say so .
I had trouble with CD of OS 10.3 because of that
Bob
Anybody got a good disk for sale?
regards
Kev
