Re: Need help installing WindRiver

I would suspect the disc, or the optical drive[s] (or possibly a combination of the two). I assume you've checked the disk for visible defects (cracks, scratches, etc)

If the disk is semi-broken and/or your drive isn't as 'sharp' as it used to be it's possible that it can work ok for a while before crashing and burning.

One thing you could do to test this is to try copying the contents of the disk onto the hard-drive (rather than installing). You won't be able to use windriver obviously, but you can test how the drive performs under heavy use. If the file transfer crashes out too, you know you've got a problem. If it does work, get a decent size thumb drive, rip an iso of the cd onto the thumb drive (I don't know what programs are good for this anymore) and use a iso mounting tool (like daemon tools) to try installing it from the iso.
