Hello all, this my first post. I currently have a xp/ubuntu dual boot set up and am very interested in Linux Mint. I dled the iso, checked the md5sum, and burned it slowly. When I boot up I don't even get past the first screen. At the top of the screen it says 'iso linux: disk error 01, ax = 4280, drive 73' and there is a window with 'I/0 Error, error reading boot CD, reboot'.
Does anyone know what's wrong?

This very much seems like a bad CD/DVD.....

I burned another one and exactly the same thing happens, any ideas?

Just tried it on someone elses PC and it works, now I'm really confused.

Which edition are you using? It might just be your cd drive acting up a bit..

I'm using 4.0 and have tried with both cd drives.

I saw something like your experience - worked on another PC.
Which CD player?
