    sounds like the cd media you burned has an error. this can be caused by a
    manufacturing error on the cd. burn another cdrom and give it a try. also,
    try not burning at full speed. sometimes people burn disks that are rated
    12x at 30x+ and will make cd's that behave like you describe.

    Subject: CD Boot Problem

    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.
