When is this message occuring? If it is during install, this can mean that you have a bad ISO, or a bad burn. Make sure you check the MD5sum of the ISO file you downloaded. If you have the ISO on a windows computer, use either this app or this one to check the MD5sums against the values of the contents of the slackware-x.x-install.iso.md5 file that can be found on the mirror site you got your ISO from.

perhaps zero fill the hdd before retrying, just to wipe the disk totally clean (esp. if you've had many os install, including windows on the hdd).
