1) I had a problem during a Mandrake install once - whereby the second CD could not be read during the install. Turns out some CD drive/driver combos are funny that way.
2) I have a strong suspicion that I once actually managed to trash a file on a CD-R by accidentally opening the file for write. Doesn't seem likely, I know, because you need to invoke the write utility driver to make it happen, but all of a sudden the file showed up as zero bytes long.
It may have been a CDRW configured as a random access device (many HP writers have that capability), but all the same it's worth checking.
Julian.

The 2nd CD is not optional. You'll need to replace it before you can continue. CDs don't just become corrupt - did you physically damage it?
