Extracting/installing problem from CD:ROM to Hard drive, cant install!

[wilag]

My Cd-Rom drive works fine when reading cd-roms, playing videos, audio etc. But when ever I install anything, the files which are installed are corrupted. I have checked the hard drive (scan disk/frag) and no errors.
Even copying the data to my hard drive from the CD-ROM and then installing doesn't work.

My operating system is Windows 98, running on a Pentium II 333mhz, 128mb ram, 7.8GB Seagate hard drive. (more detailed information can be given if you want)

What happens is: When I install something from CD, either during the install process, the usual

'Windows has performed an illegal operation... Details or Close...'

error box will come up or if the files do get installed, the program won't function properly, usually displaying the same error box when I start the programe up.

I have recently had a new motherboard fitted, but no other new components.

Any ideas or just a starting point?
Any help would be brilliant
Will

Sometimes it happens. You can try switch off DMA translation for CDROM and Hard disk , or connect cdrom and harddisk on different IDE channels , because seems problems is on IDE interface while transfering data there comes mistakes.
