Hello everyone...
took me 3 days and planty of CD's to burn in order to finally find the working solution.
I also susspected the naming issues rather than the hardware (but as someone mentioned
earlier there are multiple issues that seem to cause similar problems - my was the
cycl...-z.in_ file etc. like it is mentioned many times in this thread).
What I did (as I said earlier I spent several days and wasted many CD-Roms) is I
used Mike's method with the freeware software called: ImgBurn but I had to select
Level 2 (31 characters as opposed to 8.3 - somehow when I was selecting 8.3 it was
still truncating one folder/file which I never found which one it was, but at least
this software let's you know that there were some names changed from the originals!).
Good luck to everyone... hope it helps and... Mike - many thanks !!!
