Hi.
The other day I burnt a copy of a CentOS 6.4 64 bit netinstall disc,
verified the disc which passed & about a third of the way through the
install it informed me that there was no CD in the drive & refused to
carry on.
So I burnt another & the same thing happened. So using the same disk
burner & the same batch of disks, I burnt a copy of a Debian 7.1
netinstall & it installed perfectly.
Any thoughts gladly welcome (the CentOS disc was downloaded from the
CentOS repos).
Cheers,
Phil...

Try either blowing air into devices or getting some kind of cd/dvd device cleaner. c

'cyoa'. too many 'crazies' out there. as for 'no CD in drive', possible reason is something is being picked off cd and drive is slow waking up and install is not allowing enough time. best bet all around, pull a dvd install iso, burn and make install, then run update. hth. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g .
