install freezes at copying files

[konfused]

I want to install knoppix on a 4 yr old PC. The installation freezes at 15% when it's copying files. I never had a problem with install when i installed mandrake on it before.

It did this with version 3.3, and at first I thought it was a bad CD. So I wait for knoppix 3.4 instead. Now I checked 3.4 to see if the ISO is correct and yes it is. I did a testcd of it on a 2nd PC and all was ok.

I did a testcd on the the 1st PC and I had one failed file. So I disabled Plug N Play in BIOS and did another testcd and this time it passed.


Now I try to install knoppix using sudo knoppix-installer on 1st PC. It freezes at copying files. I tried to do sudo knx-hdinstall, but it doesn't work. I think it was removed from 3.4.


I really want to install knoppix, but I can't! What can I do?

The HD is blank and no windows and no other OS too.

Also, how long does installation usually take?

Nevermind. I found out why it wouldn't install.

BAD MEMORY


Now for those whom can't install in the future, check your memory.

... and check your hd if you are in doubt (man badblocks)
