Greetings.
Somewhat recently, I decided to install linux onto my otherwise pure windows machine. I started with Mandrake 9.0 on a recommendation from someone, and enjoyed it a bunch. However, just recently I decided to replace Mandrake with Red Hat 8.0, so I downloaded the 5 CDs and burned them all. When I went to install Red Hat, it asked me if I wanted to perform a CD check on all of the CDs. So I went ahead and started testing them. All of the CDs resulted in a FAIL except for disc 5. Now, as far as I know, nothing is wrong with my burner. I find it highly unlikely that my burner somehow screwed up the first 4 CDs yet the last one turned out all right. The CDs I burned RH onto were all 650 MB, but the ISOs were less than that (albeit just barely) and I didn't receive any errors from my burning program while burning. I've used it to burn other CDs and its worked fine every time. My question is is this normal? Is there perhaps some bug in the installer that causes it to not recognize the CDs as the correct media, or is it that I should redownload the first 4 ISOs and burn them again? Thanks in advance.
