burning an image
 

I downloaded CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso but I haven't used Centos
before and I've haven't used a -bin-DVD.iso before,every attempt so far
to burn one has produced coasters,what do I do to get an image.

Thanks david

Were you burning it to a *DVD*-R? It is NOT a CD image. You need two
things:

1) A DVD burner (as opposed to a CD burner).
2) A DVD-R (as opposed to a CD-R).

Make sure you have the proper hardware and blank media.

Also: did you download the md5sum file? Use that to do a check of the
md5sum to make sure your ISO file is not broken.

I've had graphical apps give me coasters on occasion. From the command
line you can try:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso

(yes the syntax is a bit silly)

I tried your command but this error came up

[david@reddwarf ~]$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z
/dev/dvd=rpm/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso
:-( /dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

I used a dvd-rw and a dvd-rw-dl with the same results.

Thanks david

I used a dvd-rw and a dvd-rw-dl on a dvd-rw-dl burner.
md5sum is correct.

I have found K3b to be excellent for burning CD and DVD from iso and
making my own data disks.

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd

Use a DVD-R.

Make sure your DVD burner is in fact working. Its heads *might* need
cleaning.

Syntax, silly?
man growisofs

There are several undocumented options commonly denoted with
-use-the-force-luke prefix
