Did you check the SHA1SUMs of the downloaded ISO files against the
posted values before burning?

Note that I indicated _SHA1SUMs_ and NOT _MD5SUMs_.

If the SHA1SUMs check out, then your downloads are OK, but your burn is
not. If they (any of them) are not good, then those ISOs are bad and you
need to re-download.

Presuming that you are properly burning the ISOs as images, you may
either have bad media or may need to reduce the burn speed.

Be sure that you are using high quality CDs.
