Okay! Here is the bottom line on this one.
There are 3 different issues that people are experiencing
here and they are getting them confused.
1. Random files will not copy from the CD.
2. Random files will not copy from the CD.
3. A certain subset of files will not copy from the CD.
Reasons:
1. The install CD is damaged and therefore the files cannot be read properly from
the CD.
2. The computers RAM is bad or the wrong speed/type and therefore even though the
CD is OK the files are being corrupted during the transfer due to memory issue.
3. The CD was burned in the incorrect format therefore certain filenames including
the - and ~ characters won't copy.
(a list of those files can be found here:

Hope this help sort out the confusion!
