    I can't install knoppix dvd but I can install the cd

    I want to install knoppix dvd and I can't do it. I installed one time succesfully though.
    However I can install knoppix cd, and begins installing with 1%, while with dvd it begins with 80% and it stucks there. The percentage don't move anymore. These are the partitions I have:

    01 sda-1 free hidden 7.81 mb
    02 sda1 extended 56 gb
    03 sda5 reiserfs activa 56 gb
    04 sda3 linuxswap 3 gb
    05 sda2 fat32 15.42

    so it always ask me to install in sda5, it doesn't give me other option.
    I also don't know what is the sda-1 partition, with hidden state, is it usual to have this in the hard drive?

    Thanks and regards

    Please clarify the statement for us; was the successful installation :-
    - from the same physical DVD ?
    - witth the same version of Knoppix ? ...
    - ...and which Knoppix is it ?
    - installation to the same hardware ?

    05 sda2 fat32 15.42
    When you obtained this data (please identify which method you used), exactly what was installed in which partition:-
    - Windows in sda2 perhaps ?
    - your Knoppix CD installation in sda5 ? ...
    - ... and if so did you install the Boot Loader in the root partition sda5 or in the Master Boot Record ?

    (... as expected).

    - (Might it be the space allocated to the Master Boot Record ?) ... what is the output of fdisk -l ?

    I think you have a corrupt dvd, try going to init 4 and installing from there, then you can see the error messages,so
    #init 4
    #knoppix-installer

    if you see some IO error repeating itself, eject the edvd and reinsert it
