Some older CD-ROM drives tend to have problems with homeburnt cdroms (and
CD-RW media even more so), due to the color of the media. These are the
classical symptoms. You're probably best off using a different cdrom drive
to install from (I'd just take out that 24x for a bit). Check the drive
using a CD off a conventional press.
