I have already downloaded the DVD ISO again and verified the file with the SHA1 checksum calculator mentioned in the Read ME file.
The CheckSum matches...But had to go leave for work..
once i get back...let me see how the installation goes.
Thanks for the links.
@ Armin,
Thanks...that is almost the same procedure i followed when i did the Fedora 7 installation. I wanted to upgrade it to fedora 9. This is the first time i am facing problems with installing fedora.

Thanks for replying Aldo and Armin.
Yes i am downloading from a windows system. I was downloading to a logical drive with a FAT32 file system... I went through the documentation again.. So i guess that must be the problem.
Apparently downloading to an NTFS filesystem doesn't seem to have that problem.
Will try that.
I just need a back up copy of the entire dvd anyway.
so i would have to download the file again.
I 've burnt that corrupted file on 2 DVDs already :)
Thanks for the help, guys.On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 1:46 AM, Armin Moradi <feng.shaun@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Or you can just download the livecd and install from there, it will give you essentially the same thing, and you don't have to take your time to download a big iso file!On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM, Aldo Foot <lunixer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

There may be issues downloading ISO images larger than 2GB.
Try the instructions here and see whether you can install directly from
a fedora web site.
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/opsec/fedora-netinstall
First download the Rescue CD, which smaller size that a full DVD ISO.
Alternatively, download the CD ISO images directly from here:
http://fedora.inode.at/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/
HTH, and enjoy using Fedora.

I would partition my HD and delete the partition so it leaves a free space (not formatted).
The I would get a copy of the livecd and burn it (or put it on a USB disk) and boot from it.
In the installation, I would choose guided partitioning.
the guided partitioning makes it quite painless :)
