Mandrake 10 install error


Ok, I'm trying to install Mandrake 10 cuz my friend tells me how much more awesome than rh9 it is, but i come to an error, when it is trying to load the program into the computers memory. I am relatively sure its either my cdrom (which i doubt) or the cd its self (but my friend said it worked fine for him) the error i recieve after it says: loading program into memory is

-----------------| Error |---------------------
Could not uncompress second stage ramdisk. This
is probably an hardware error while reading the
data. (this may be caused by a hardware failure or a
linux kernel bug)

also i hit Alt-F4 so that i could see the system messages and there were a bunch (i dont think i saw them all cuz i cant scroll up) of errors that looked like this: (repeated)

<3>Bufer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 337826
<4>hdd: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
<4>hdd: media error (bad sector): error=0x34
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 1351308

that is repeated multiple times with different blocks and sectors listed, but the status and error (status=0x51, error=0x34) to the best of my knowledge remains the same throughout.

hdd im pretty sure is my cdrom, which is why i am guessing its either a cdrom or cd failure.

If anyone knows the best method to fix this problem please tell me. Would it be easiest just to get a new cd or download mandrake 10 off the net?

Thank You
