Comment 3 for bug 738530

Hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me.

Just to clarify I'll go through as much of the process as I remember.

I have CD-Rs of Mint 9 and Mint 10 and Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.10. The bug occurs with all of them. Pre-empting your suggestion, two of them were burned on someone else's computer and two were burned with my hardware, so this bug can't be coming from my machine with the creation of the CD-Rs.

To head off the possibility of it being the my drive at point of installation (as opposed to CD creation) I also tried installing from a USB stick (can't remember if I used Unetbootin or usb-creator) and the bug still came up.

I've also used checksum - everything matched.

I use the drive to burn CD-Rs of my own music and never have any problems with creating the media or playing it back. I know that doesn't rule out a problem with the drive, but it does reduce it as a likelihood.

In the end I installed an ancient version of Xubuntu (I think it was 7.10) and upgraded the slow way.

As this is my only computer and I use it for school I'm afraid I can't test the process again and risk it turning into a data drive with a decorative keyboard.

So, in short, pretty sure it's not the media. Marking back to new.
