You mean real CD or DVD with operating systems on real iron ?
If such systems really report blank media, and not unknown
data on the media, then it should be a media-drive issue.

A bad ISO image properly burned should at least mark the
medium as used and (rawly) readable.

Can you point me to an ISO image which shows the problems ?
I have an AMD 64 bit system with BIOS-only.
(A small image would be convenient, of course.)


Have a nice day :)
