Tested Ubuntu burn by burning a CD at max speed on DVD-RW drive, booting on CD-RW drive, and attempting to check CD.

It loaded the OS and started running the check and then bounced to the console with the following error:

Busybox v1.1.13 (Debian 1:1.1.3-2Ubuntu3)

bin/sh: Can't access TTY; job control turned off

Now I am going to burn the ISO image at a slower speed on the CD-RW drive. If that doesn't work I am going out to buy better CD-R disks. I've already gone through about 12 blanks disks already and I'm running out of disks anyway.

Update: Googled problem and found that either because my desktop has multiple drives and/or NTFS, this might be a Ubuntu bug. This means I can't use my desktop to validate the Ubuntu CD's I am burning.

I may have to switch to a different Linux so that I can at least test whether the used laptop has any issues preventing a Linux install.
