not likely, and you would probably get i/o errors at other times on other files.

I'm not sure. I guess it is possible that the timestamp did not get copied yet and the failure interupted.

I wonder if the cd is bad and the msg is deceiving. That would explain why it fails at the same file during each install. Maybe it isn't the write, but the associated read of the cd and OUI is being creative in the msg. Sounds like a long shot.

Try to copy the cd files in some other fashion like dd. Maybe something will float to the surface.
