KVS,
try the RedHat Linux Installation Guide (pdf format) available at the redhat
website..
here's a snip :
<snip>
5.5 Identify Disk Partition to Install From
Note : Hard drive installations now require the use of the ISO (or CD-ROM)
images
instead of just copying an entire installation tree. After placing the
required
ISO images in a directory, choose to install from the hard drive. You
will then
point the installation program at that directory to perform the
installation.
If you verify that the ISO images are intact before you attempt an
installation,
you will help to avoid problems that are often encountered during a hard
drive
installation. To verify the ISO images are intact before performing an
instal-lation,
use an md5sum program (many md5sum programs are available for
various operating systems). An md5sum program should be available on
the same server as the ISO images.
The Select Partition screen (Figure 5-5, Selecting Partition Dialog for Hard
Drive Installation) applies
only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, if you selected
Hard Drive in the Installation
Method dialog). This dialog allows you to name the disk partition and
directory from which you
are installing Red Hat Linux.

out on ur own...
