&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;I have been trying to installing MDK10 on my inspiron 8500.  
&gt;&gt;Things go fine except when it asks for the second cd.  It 
&gt;&gt;will tell me that it is not found, once I put it in of 
&gt;&gt;course.  I thought it was just a bad cd, so I burnt another 
&gt;&gt;one same problem.  I have also tried different distro's they 
&gt;&gt;all have problems when I asked to switch cd's.  I have also 
&gt;&gt;tried burning the cd's using a different burner.  Any ideas?
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;The only distro I have had luck with was a Fedora boot DVD 
&gt;&gt;(didn't need to switch disks and it worked).
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; Check the MD5 sum on the ISO you downloaded and make sure the download was
&gt; complete. I downloaded FC2 disk 2 the other day, successfully I thought, and
&gt; burned the CD only to find missing packages. The packages were there, but
&gt; reported as 0 bytes in size. Downloaded via http with Firefox 0.8 on WinXP
&gt; and burned with Roxio on same. I'd seen this happen before with Bittorrent
&gt; downloads, so I picked up on it pretty quick. MD5 sum failed verification,
&gt; so I extracted the ISO to a folder with WinRAR and discovered that a number
&gt; of packages were 0 bytes in size. A fresh download took care of things.
&gt; Never seen any quirky drive problems on the 8500, and I have loaded RH9 and
&gt; Slackware on quite a few of them. If it is a problem with the drive, then as
&gt; you said, the DVD is the way to go unless you feel like performing a network
&gt; install.
