[wellylug] Creating data CD's accurately.

Hi,

I download iso images and then check the MD5 checksum. So far so good.
Then I burn the image to CD using the following command

cdrecord -v dev-0,0,0 image.iso

I attempt to verify that the image is correct by reading the image back.

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=newimage.iso

I always get an error on the readback but newimage.iso seems
functionally ok.

Unfortunately when I perform the md5sum on the final image it is
incorrect.

What am I doing wrong ?

thanks for any help
Nigel
