seconds, and then moved to ubuntu (installed operating system).
Does this sound like I have to go buy some other discs, because
my drive is too old, and can't read the DVD?
One of my old Dell's DVD-ROM drives only reads DVD-R discs, not DVD+R
discs. Any chance you're using +R? If so, try using -R and see if it
is read that way.
Makes sense. Will put -R discs on my shopping list.

Onetime I needed +R to make recovery disk for a laptop, I got a five
disc pack and still have four left over, I always use -R for everything
I do they work great for data, music and burning ISO's, I don't know why
but I can't get RW disk to work at all, from what I read I'm not along,
seems RW don't work for anybody using Linux.
