When I try to select & to install to hard drive, it lists the drive, but when I try to point the installer at the drive it fails the install immediately, with the error "installing....  failed! Can not mount CD-ROM" with no further information as to why. Obviously the CD-ROM is mounted, as the system is running off the CD-ROM.

This can happen when the BIOS plays games with the CD-Rom as a boot 
device.  Boot  Linux Live CD and use DD to burn the image.  Or, just 
burn the boot device on a Linux or Windows desktop.
