Please reply to the list instead of reply to any person. I am not sure why this is happening. But I have noticed that all cdroms are not equal. Some disks give out read error on some drives, where as they work on other drives. Your problem may not be related to debian/win/mac, but it may be related to that particular cdrom drive on debian.
Compatibility of read only disks are much better across drives. Another suggestion is that, when you write cd/dvd disks, do it at a lower speed, at least this gives better compatibility across readers On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 17:50, James Stuckey <jhstuc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 2:09 PM, Anand Sivaram <aspn...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Replying to debian-user...... >> >> 1.
