I had a similar thing happen with my 9.3 -> 10.0 upgrade. I have a DVD drive and a CD burner drive. I started the install on the DVD because the read speed is a little faster. It booted from it fine and installed from #1. Finished #1 and asked for #2... put #2 in and it finished from #2 and asked for #3. Put #3 in, and it started giving abort/retry/ignore errors on every file. I aborted and started over. Second time through, same ... until I noticed that when it asked for #3 and I clicked on the EJECT button on the dialog box (first time through I had ejected using the button on the DVD drive instead of the mouse button), it slid the carrier for the *CD burner drive* out instead of the DVD drive that I had started the install with. I put #3 in the CD burner drive and continued, and it finished the install of #3, #4, and #5 all using the CD burner. Somehow the install got confused and switched drives in the middle of the install. I've never seen *that* happen before!
