Comment 12 for bug 744836

I'd just like to update the record to include the trouble shooting steps for defective media. However after attempting to do so I realized I was no expert. Trying again seams best. Once an issue is reported by multiple media using multiple devices, it most likely is not defective media. Multiple different media with defects would likely express an array of different problems, save for failing a media verification step, not the same problem over and over again.

However a problem can be specific to a certain configuration, so determining the details of the configuration is a necessary troubleshooting step. Furthermore just because a configuration works 100 times, does not mean that it will not fail 10,000,000 times and the reverse is also true.
