Arrow Failed to mount dvd during install

Hello!

I am trying to install openSUSE 11.1 on an Asus G50 laptop and I am running into a bit of an issue.

The first time I placed the DVD and tried to install when it was doing the system checks and got to the repository part it would say that it failed to mount the dvd.

Then I tried it in another copmuter and it worked fine. So I put the disk back into the Asus and started the install. Everything went normal up untill the Perform install began. A window pops up from Yast2 and is asking to:

Insert 'opensuse 11.1-0 (Disck 1)'
with an error message of:

Failed to mount dvd://?devices=/dev/sr0 on /mnt/var/tmp/AP_0x000000001: No medium found (mount: No medium found on /dev/sr0)

I used this same disk to install on another computer and it worked fine.

Also I did do a md5 on the .iso prior to burning it, burned it at x3 speed and did a data check once the DVD was inserted prior to trying the install.

My only thought could be that the partitions were created from Extended and not Primary, would that make any difference? And is that acceptable?

Any help is much appreciated!
