Humph, winderz strikes again. But before I lay the blame 100% on Bill, did you also grab the md5sum of that iso, and did it match when you checked it? Good qwuestion but I don't know if winderz even has an md5sum function. I don't have a windows machine, and never have had one.
There are a few md5sum utilities available to download for M$ platforms, some for free, others cost a few bucks. Just google for them.. On occasion, you will get a bad burn which is not so easy to test for under Windows, so when you boot from the CD, type in "linux checkmedia" at the very first boot screen - Follow the simple instructions, and you will get a pass or fail message when complete. The error that Peter reports sounds very much like a corrupt CD rather than anything intrinsically wrong.
