Two weeks ago, I had a headache with self-burned CDs for a Fedora Core2 
install, and none of the reburns worked worth a pituie (technical term 
8-)) either. Joy was had by swaping out the cd-rom drive for another one 
lying around the house.

Which now begs the question - is there a way for a general user to test a 
cd or dvd drive to discover if it is within spec? Same question for a 
drive capable of burning same also.
