CD burn trouble

[Gene Dascher]

I know that x-CDRoast has the option of looking at the directory tree in the
ISO file.  I have downloaded and burned 5 or 6 different distros without any
problems.  If you go into 'Master CD' and then 'Write ISO File' (or whatever
option is similar), there is an option to choose and review the ISO image
file.  Is this the first problem that you have had with burning a CD?  What
kind of CD recording drive do you have?

Subject: CD burn trouble

Anyone want to try a hand with the following error?  I get this
(ultimately from CDRECORD) using just about any front-end (X-cdroast,
cgombust, gtoaster), and the burnt disc is useless.  Trying to mount it
gives an I/O error.   (bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom2: Input/output error)

I'm running Mandrake 7.1 stock (except I updated gtoaster to latest with
no change).  I'm trying to burn an ISO image (Red Hat 7.0)

I'm thinking I may have a bum ISO download, but don't know how to check
that either.  Should I be able to mount the ISO as a loop device and
"see" the tree structure?  Anyway, the error message ...  I should
mention that this comes after 100% burn and the drive is ejected (in
other words, it looks like it's done everything good, ejects the disc,
then errors after I re-insert the disc).

 Track 01:   0 of 639 MB written. Track 01: writing  30 KB of pad data.
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 670464000/670494720 (327390
sectors).

** Editorial note: the drive ejects at this poing, the dialog says 100%
complete, but the STOP option
** what's still available, not OK.  If I hit STOP, then "stopped at user
request".  If I just re-insert the
** disc, then it spits out the following and finishes (closes the
progress dialog box).
