Description Pants McBrain 2004-08-19 11:08:51 UTC
When I tried to burn the install-sparc64-universal-2004.2.iso image onto a 700MB TDK disc with an IBM ThinkCentre (Pentium 4 2.80 GHz, 248 MB RAM) running Windows XP and a WDC WD400BB-23DEA0 CD-RW burner, it reported that the image (.iso) was incompatible with the drive (burner), but only after burning about 20% of the image (and so ruining the disc).  The software used for burning the image unsuccessfully was IBM/Sonic Solutions RecordNow! v6.5.1.  Any suggestions?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert blank CD.
2. Start IBM/Sonic Solutions RecordNow! v6.5.1
3. Click third option tab (picture of two CDs)
4. Click "Burn Image - Create a disc from an image already on your hard drive"
5. Select install-sparc64-universal-2004.2.iso from hard drive
6. Click red "Burn" button
Actual Results:  
The CD ejects, and a message explains that the image is "incompatible" with the 
CD-RW drive.

Expected Results:  
It should have successfully burned the CD.

So you're unable to burn a sparc CD on a x86 IBM running Windows..... and it is our problem?  I'm not sure I understand.  Have you tried to burn it on any other machines?

Funny you mention the ThinkCentre, as I am working from one right now...

Have you checked the md5sum of the CD?  Are you sure it was a good download?

Honestly, there's nothing we can do to support a Windows problem.

Sorry.
