Ok, something is wrong with the catalog of the files you downloaded.

You should have gotten a message about installing from the hard drive.

Instead it's going right to the CD installation. This is because the setup
program does not find the file(s) list...

Since you are not installing from CD, you get the mount error...

You might want to try grabbing ALL of the missing files again...
