That's what I'm going to end up doing. I agree with you: it's got to be the worst "LiveCD" ever! Thanks for your time.

Er, no. I'm using 80 min CDs. The CD burned successfully according to the log. It just failed on the verification.

Hi, as the topic says I'm trying to burn a 775MB Centos 5.4 ISO Live CD with ImgBurn. But does ImgBurn allow a CD to be overburned? I went ahead and initiated the burn. The file seemed to have been burned successfully but the verification failed. I've attached the ImgBurn log file.
