Newbie Help With Fedora 9 installation

[E.H]

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.
