I've had the same problemwith bad media checks. The checksums checked
out okay, but I could run the media check multiple times on the same
disk and get a mix of pass and fails. As long as I got a pass I called
it good. Not that this is a guarantee, but it worked for me.

Hey, guys,
I decided to give up on KnoppMyth (for reasons discussed earlier)
and try FC4 with Jaro(e?)d's guide, but I'm having a helluvatime
getting an FC4 that passes the media test. I've donwloaded the discs
via BitTorrent, then FTPed them from Fedora, and I'm getting discs
that look good, that boot--the torrent one even installs
beautifully*--but that when FC checks them, says they don't pass the
media check. I just cracked open a new stack of TDK CDs, and still
got the media check failure. I've used at least two different CD
burners--one CD, one DVD, actually.
I don't know what the deal is. I'm using a CD Burner XP Pro to
burn the ISO images, which I've never had trouble with before. I used
it for Knoppmyth for example, with no problem, and Knoppix. Though, I
didn't do any media checks, I just booted them and they worked.
(Well, not KnoppMyth, but it didn't fail to install, just didn't do
what I wanted after the installation.)
I'm really at a loss, here. Short of going down and buying FC4
from the store.
* You might say, "Why do you care?" But I don't want to invest the
time in trying to make Myth work if I'm screwed from the start
because I've got a bad FC image.
I would start by making sure that the images you are downloading
are not currupt Check the MD5 sums of the image vs. what Fedora
publishes. On Linux, use md5sum. On windows, I use a utility called
Hashcalc from SlavaSoft.

Once you know that you have good images, then you can focus on
getting the CDs burned correctly. Others more knowledgeable than I will
no doubt comment on that here.
