Re: Troubles installing Debian on an ASUS notebook

["Mike" <spam@mdobbs.com>]

Sound's like a media problem to me.  I'd try checking the md5 sums on the 
disk (you have to burn disk-at-once), preferably on the laptop.  I'm not 
sure if debian install comes with a checking.  You could also try booting 
from a usb jump drive, not sure what options are available.  I know my dell 
laptop has a very very picky dvd drive, especially for cdroms.  Though I 
expect your Asus to be much better than my dell :-)
