What speed was the disc created at? I often see this problem with people who have done high speed burns. If the disc was created at high speed I suggest burning another copy at 4x.
The disc worked on my laptop just fine. I then tried to boot from it on an AMD desktop and it won't get past the hardware configuration status bar.
I also tried to boot from a ubuntu disc that did a similar thing. I get splash screens, but it won't complete the boot.
Am I looking at an incompatibility issue?
The desktop is an AMD 2600 with 512mb ram. Laptop is a Dell 6400 T2500 with 2 gigs of ram.
Suggestions?

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
I thought that wasn't going to fix it because it worked on my laptop...
learned something new tonight. That indeed fixed it. Thanks.
