The F9 DVD iso is less than 4 GB (3,496,758 KB) so it should fit on
your FAT32 partition. You used bittorrent for downloading so the odds
are that the downloaded image is fine. Before you waste a lot of time
and bandwidth on downloading another copy of the DVD ISO get
fastsum.exe ( http://www.fastsum.com/download/FastsumSetup-1.6.exe ),
md5sum.exe ( http://etree.org/md5com.html ) or other MD5 checking
software and verify that the checksum matches. Try a different brand
of media or use your existing DVD to perform a network install.
