I had a Plextor CD-RW model PX-W5224TA in one of my systems on which I was running Ubuntu/Hardy and every time I attempted to burn an ISO image of Ubuntu, either the burn would fail, I would get some type of error or if the burn completed successfully and then when I went to check the integrity of the CD ISO image, it would have some errors reported by the intregrity test that is found on the initial Ubuntu boot screen menu. P.S. - I am very familar with the general rules as to how to successfully burn a Ubuntu ISO image, I have done numerious successful burns before on other machines.
Just as soon as I replaced the drive with a Sony CD-RW drive in this machine, I have so far burned both the live version and alternate version of Hardy with ZERO problems - I even used the very same CDs that I had used with the Plextor drive.
I am going to place the Plextor drive in another machine and see if the problems repeats themselves. But I was just wondering, if there might perhaps be some incompatibility between Ubuntu and these Plextor drives ???
P.S. - I just tried another Plextor drive on another computer and again the Plextor drive would NOT successfully complete the burn & integrity check of the Ubuntu ISO image. What happened this time was the the burn seems to go thru the burn process O.K. but when it got to the sumcheck function, it went to 25% complete and then just hung and instead of the counter that shows the estimated time remain on the sumcheck function counting DOWN, the estimated time remaining started to go UPWARDS/INCREASE. Me thinks that Ubuntu does not like Plextor CD drives.
Thanks.
Same here. But it's a DVD-RW (PX-810SA) and every time I burn with Brasero I have errors. Give GnomeBaker or Nero a try I have no problems!
