I have my doubts, especially since according to ImgBurn, the Mandriva One 2009 KDE ISO writes about 732 MB of data to the disk, the ISO itself is 702 MB.

Has anyone confirmed it to burn correctly when burning to a 700 MB Disk? Because, that's all we got around here mainly.

Not really solved ish, but you can check out what went down on the Mandriva Forums.

I can confirm that it does indeed burn to a regular CD. At least, it did in my case and it was fine. I recently got hold of the Linux Format disc with Mandriva 2009 featured, and it was no different to my own burn, which I installed and use fine.

It also installed fine onto a CD-R for me (the One version)

Worked for me too, both gnome and kde Mandriva 2009 One i586 images burned with no problem on cheap cd-r.
