Take this with a grain of salt (I'm no expert), but ...

It may help if you burn at low speed, and verifying the data after burning (e.g. ImgBurn) is nice, too. But yeah, make a backup of a backup of a backup ... if you can spare the time. (Actually, I read that Doom's src was rereleased as GPL instead of non-commercial license b/c someone's src to a tweaked OpenGL version was lost in a HD crash.)

P.S. FAT32 has 4 GB for a single filesize limit, no?
