    I am trying to install Debian on my computer. I used jigdo to get the iso. Then I burned the iso to cd. When I try to boot from the cd, the drive spins up then spins down a lot. Sometimes I get a message from the BIOS that there was a boot failure. Other times, It starts booting, but then I get a message from the software on the cd that there was an error and that I should try again. When I try to access the cd on another os, It is accessible, but it spins up and down a lot. Also when I try to small text files on the cd sometimes there is a long delay (45 sec or more). The drive works well with other cds though. I'm not sure what is wrong.
