The bad burn is only in respect to my DVD reader... On another machine, newer, it boots just fine. And I am assuming would install. What we should have tried at the clinic was putting the disk in someone else's computer to see how it acted. We did that with mine. Booted the WIN disk. So we assumed I was clean. I am thinking my reader has issues. Shows you how touchy those readers can be. And how I didn't do much of a job of trouble shooting my own machine. I am still waiting for someone to send me a copy of their Mint sources list. Drop that in there and see if it will change distro and upgrade on the spot.. hehe Thanks for all the help.
