Worked Back then = RH9 came before FC3. Either:
1) The test was always messed up, in which case you're wasting your time either way -OR- 2) The people in charge of fedora supplanted a functional CD test with a non-functional error prone test which still makes it sound like you're wasting your time. On a side note there's likely a checkbox in the program you're using to burn the CD that says "verify CD contents after burn" or something along those lines (maybe not), but even so I would say you could have installed Fedora a few times over the last couple days by now and would just know. It's never been a problem before........
