Message: [QUOTE="mandark1967, post: 1187252, member: 76062"] It sounds to me as if your CD/DVD drive's BIOS does not like that brand of CDR. Check to see if there is a firmware update available for the Drive. It may also be a case of that particular system does not like the Debian flavor of linux. I have about 12 different systems at my house and some love Debian, while others hate it, but love Mandriva or Suse...or even MEPIS. That's due not to Linux per se, but to the component manufacturer's lack of support for Open Source. Generally speaking, I only shop for hardware I know works with Linux. If you cannot locate a firmware update for your equipment, try another distro and see if that works. I find that most of the Live CDs these days have mostly the same stuff on them. Let us know how it turns out for ya! [/QUOTE]
