Can't install, error booting install cd (read error: 0x0c)

[Sprax]

I tried installing FreeBSD yesterday but when trying to boot the cd I get

Read Error: 0x0c

I made a total of three attempts at creating a FreeBSD disk and all resulted in the same failure, while other CDs I made at the same time using the same procedure (including CentOS) worked fine. I use InfraRecorder for windows to burn CDs.

Ideas on what might be wrong?

1. When is it returning this error? While copying files from *disc1.iso to the disk or right away after booting?
2. Have you tried booting other discs, such as *bootonly.iso or *livefs.iso, and switching to *disc1.iso once sysinstall fires up?
3. You can always boot off a USB pendrive (*memstick.img).

Right after booting,

I tried bootonly as per your (implied) suggestion. The computer halts a few seconds, then ignores the cd proceeds to boots from hard drive instead. No error messages are given (reminds me of my first attempt at installing vista).

3. You can always boot off a USB pendrive (*memstick.img).

I tried creating a bootable stick using dd. I gave it quite a bit of time but the program seemed stuck to I aborted. I guess it might have been working - if very slowly - but since the program does not indicate progress...

I'm giving up...
