    Normally I would say bad media (CD/DVD) but if your having the issue with multiple discs try a different optical drive. Do you have an external DVD drive to test with?

    It would also help if you described some of your own troubleshooting steps otherwise you might get a lot of suggestions on things you've already done.

    Does it always stop at the same location or the same file when it installs? If it does then probably a bad disc or file installation just as Mandrake states
