Live CD burning on RW not working?

I burned Live CDs of openSUSE 11.1 and fedora 10 on different RW CDs but both them unable to run live session. I check memory it is ok.
checked for error in cd got some error in cd sector
Is it becoz of RW cd OR downloading prob.? :-(

how could both cds got error? I erased it and again burn it but no change :sad:

I download both from bittorrent.
i am downloading openSUSE 11.1 again from bittorrent.

it happened to me also i had bought a new Sony Rw and burnt arch .. it didnt work and now the cd rw is totally useless .. some problem with the Cd !!

Did your verify MD5SUM of downloaded .iso image? I would suggest you to burn .iso image at lowest possible speed supported by your CD/DVD burner.
In case you are using Windows based package like Nero to burn .iso images, make sure to select Burn Image to Disk option.

Did you download those iso from torrents? If yes ,then the chances of a bad download is minimum.Oops, read your post again

The fault is with the rw-cds.
Why waste RWs when you can get normal cds, its cheap bro.
Why the hell are you wasting your bandwidth by re-downloading openSuse iso? Just check the md5sum of the downloaded iso and compare it with the official md5sum. If it matches then no need to re-download the iso.

WinMd5Sum Portable Use in Windows to check the md5sum.

And if in Linux, just give this command in the Terminal

Code:

md5sum /path/to/iso

and check the result with the official md5sum

Try the ISO with Virtualbox to double check them?

Go ahead & verify
*iso.linuxquestions.org/suse/opensuse-11.1/

check sum are same.
burning iso to RW for last time.
if it doen't work gotta buy new blank CD

^Paagal dont waste your RWs. Just get your lazy bum and buy blank cds for 20 rupees!!!!!!!

20 rupees? Which Brand? It's pretty costly for a blank CD.

^I mean 2 cds for Fedora & openSUSE

Ah I see...
