I am using WinRar 3.0, and Win XP Pro, and my computer is a AMD athlon 1.4ghz, and I have no problems. It has to be your burning software, I do hope you aren't using windows xp's burning software. Re-reading your email, I see it is winxp doing the burning.. Come on man, that's horrid... Don't leave it up to Windows to make a burning software, get a real software. Nero is great, or fireburner, or whatever.

It says it wants the ISO to be 44MB smaller to fit on the media. This same media has been working fine from my Linux desktop machine for a couple years ( big stack of CD media ) and I believe previous ISO's (8.2 and before) were of a similar size. I will try different media soon to see what happens. This may be of interest, maybe not. Marketing people may go "hmn..." Anyone else see anything like this ? Just my media sucks ? ( Maybe winrar is interfering, have to try that too. Winrar is the app that "knows" what an .iso is ) If it matters, this is a compaq presario 715us, Athlon 1.4Ghz, Toshiba DVD/CD R,RW. And it has latest updates from both Redmond, and Compaq Driver updates as of today. The compaq driver updates are necessary due to PIO vs. DMA on the CD Drive, evidently a "wrong" default registry setting that cripples CD Write-ability. The "software" doing the burning is XP/Home itself. Drag-n-plop to the CD drive, click a wizard.
