It is not a unique problem, because several mails reporting the same problem were mailed to me. I have an hard drive with about 250 kb of bad sectors scattered all over the disc. When I try to extract the bin01.* files it always complains about corrupted files. I know that my bin01.* files are correct, because they extracted well on another machine with the same hardware components but without bad sectors on the hd. I should mention that there were NO messages like "wd0: hard read error writing fsbn XXXXX (wd0 bn YYYYY; cn ZZZ, tn A, sn B)" during installation. Any help is appreciated!
