How is your disk partitioned? Maybe one partition (root probably) really is full, check with 'df'
Is it download version, or did you buy it? SuSe's professional takes around 10 GB if you install everything...

It may be caused by a bad sector on your harddisk. I have never had problems installing Mandrake. I would recommend you maybe run scandisk if you are dual booting. I hope this helps.
