Can't install 7100

Yah, if the disk booted and stalled after that it sounds like bad burn and that error in the verification just confirms that. It's either a bad iso image, or just bad burns so far.

I've used ImgBurn with all builds so far with no issues. It's free and the default setup for burning a bootable image is all that's needed so no tweaking of settings is needed.
You can get it Here if you want to try it with that.

I should buy a DVD+/-RW for occasions just like this one. Then I can burn it until I get it right.

Nope, won't boot on rewritable media unfortunately.

Another bad burn... 2 or 3 empty dvds left in the house...

That IS exactly the problem.

You need to reburn as an ISO. Use UltraISO or imageburn. Forget NERO now its horrible (although you probably didn't use it).

The ISO burn for the boot IS NOT UDF. It should have a proper boot sector and be bootable.

There's NO problem either in using +RW (or -RW) re-writeable media for creating bootable discs -- do it all the time --what with all these builds and some dubious ISO images from bad torrents.

I used imgburn now. Are there any special settings I should select?

I used a dvd from the same batch for the 7000 image and never had a bad burn with them before. Now 3 in a row.

Burn at 4x would be a good setting.As for the others i usually leave them default.

I set it to 1x, but 3.3x was the lowest it would go.

still burning at 90% then it will verify

ok it burned and verified 100% now I hope this works
