IF the install completes, then you are good to go.
I have had this problem in the past. Sometimes it is from the write speed, and
sometimes it can be from writing track at once or disc at once. Track at once
can add extra lead-in or pad the lead-out info when you burn an ISO file, and
that can mess with the verification routine.
