 Make sure you are burning as an iso image and not just burning the actual file to the media

Subject: Download onto CD failed to burn

Hello,

  I'm interested in trying out Debian's OS.  I downloaded from your website, which
took a half hour even with a high speed cable connection.  I then sent it on to my
E-drive, to burn it onto a disc.  After 17 mins., I forced a shutdown...log message
"Burn failed."  I'm at a loss.  Never had a problem burning a cd or dvd on this unit.

Any suggestions?  I would like to get away from relying on Windows, and try your
OS, as I heard it was superior.

Thanks,
Mike Selinger
