Installation issues / Re: IO error while copying DVD

UI2?  Just a clean install, I made no choices other than what hard disk to install to!  I'll try the "Shift" trick tonight.

I'm wondering if my PNY PCI 5200 card in this emachines unit + high-res display might be doing something strange...

Anyone know if this would be a good unit to make into a Linux MCE machine?

Ok, in searchign the forums I found reference to Slow Burn on your dvd drive.  I burned the DVD at 1x and it now installs OK.

However, now on the first bootup it says error starting X.

Installation issues / IO error while copying DVD

« on: May 26, 2008, 12:15:25 am »

Machine: Emachines T3828 (I'll post a Belarc report if that's useful)
Downloaded http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4175308/LinuxMCE_Install_DVD_for_i386_-_0710_RC2.4175308.TPB.torrent using azureus.  It says it downloaded OK.
Burned to DVD, booted and started the install on 2 different 40g ide drives.
Each and every time I attempt, it starts copying the DVD then comes up with an I/O error copying the DVD. 
I tried burning the DVD again (under Linux, this time), still no luck.
I tried using Linux Parted to delete all the partitions on the hard disk and then tried again... no luck.
Is LinuxMCE not happy with my hardware?  If so, any idea which piece?
Is LinuxMCD DVD not ok?
