[gentoo-user] Problem burning Gentoo 700 MB LiveCD

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I have been trying to burn the Gentoo 2006 ISO image to a Memorex 700 MB 
CD using Nero 5.5. I first tried to use other CD burning programs. They 
all gave the same error message: "No media in the drive" or "Drive is 
empty. Please insert CD". Of course, the CD is in the drive. So, when 
Nero says: " No media in the drive. Please insert CD" the drive opens up 
and I close the drive (or replace the CD with a new CD). But it 
repeatedly refuses to proceed. I also tried to uninstall and install my 
Nero 5.0 and then Nero 5.5 to no avail.

And yet, believe it or not, I did successfully burn an ISO image of the 
Gentoo Minimal InstallCD (49 MB). It took some effort (same error 
message) but finally succeeded.

I could install the minimal 50 meg bootable CD. I know it works. But I 
would prefer to install the 697 MB LiveCD. Here are two images with data 
on what's going on:

I would very much appreciate your help. Is this a hardware or software 
problem and is it fixable? At least, can I fix it enough to burn the 
Gentoo CD?

Thank you again.

Benjamin
