PCLinuxOS 2007 Installation problem, please help!


hello everybody!
its my first time using linux i watched and read alot about pc linux os 2007 and i`m into it now, downloaded the ISO file then used ActiveisoBurner and put it onto a cd now i restarted my laptop and i went through the first stages, at prompt i select livecd, i have one hard disk with a partition C:\ which has windows on it and D:\ which is empty and i`m intending to put linux on it
i went all the way till where the installation begins and so it reaches about 20% and it freezes i did many retrials and the same thing happend, i even tried downloding pclinuxos 2007 from different sites but no use.why is this happening and is there something missing?

When the boot screen comes up, chose the boot option and press the 'e' (for edit) key, and the first line of the boot code should be selected. If so press 'e' again.
You will now see the boot line on the screen, so using the arrow keys goto the part of the line that has unionfs=no and use the delete key to get rid of that entry. Then press the 'b' (for boot) key and you should now boot into PCLOS with the ability to install.

And Please stop using the huge font.It is very annoying.
