Have you tried more than one disk? The number one problem with disk
installs is bad disks. Even if it is a brand new disk, try a different
disk. Because you are writing raw data to a disk which includes the
formating and filesystem the disk has to be perfect. Unlike using a
format command which will find bad sectors and mark them as such.
