yeah that's always better than downloading again...

one more thing to try would be disabling dma on the cdrom drive for the
install, ifyou would normally boot into the install off the cd by typing:

linux

linux ide=nodma

it's a long shot but the verify has been known to fail on some hardware
using dma... once you get it installed it's another kettle of fish.
