Last week I bought myself a DVD burner and don't seem to get it
working right (argh). As far as I know, I tried all possible
connection possibilities and I am close to throwing the stuff out of
the window...
For the record: I can burn dvd's, but when checking it with a md5sum
it fails. I have downloaded the FC3 dvd iso file and after
downloading, the md5sum checks out. When I burn the iso file (with
K3B) the verify option fails afterwards. If I burn the file with Gnome
and do a manual md5sum on the dvd, it gives a complete different
number (everytime I burn the iso file, I get another value)... I have
been using a new Philips RW disc, also tried it on a regular (no RW)
Philips disc... I also updated the firmware of the burner, still no
improvement.
I have a 80 gb harddisk (Western Digital WD800JB), a LG dvdrom
(GDR-8163B) and a Plextor DVD burner (PX-712A). I also have a
additional ATA100 ide controler card (Ultra100 TX2) lying around,
together with plenty IDE cables (40 pins and 80 pins). My P4T-F
motherboard has one blue coloured and one black coloured IDE connector
(both should be ATA100 capable, but the manual advises ATA100 on the
blue one and no-ATA100 on the black ide connector).
Can someone please tell me what I forgot or missed here? What is the
best way to connect these components... should the burner be alone on
a ide channel or can it combined??

Patrick,
In the off chance that k3b's md5sum method has some kind of problem,
have you tried booting the DVD and running the media check to verify the
integrity? I seem to remember having a similar problem, but the media
check passed.
