tha's may be becoz rw cds are more delicate than the other cds.

Try copying the installer files to the HDD and then running it. If you get a crc err or are unable to copy, you will be able to pinpoint the problem. Personally i don't think that the media being a rw has anything to do with it. Doesn't seem logical

There is nothing like that.
Your CDRW may be old / used many times and hence data may get corrupted.
