Well,thanks a lot.MD5SUM checks passed with the " linux ide=nodma" 
command.the installation went fine.but after reboot
system has halted at the boot.i opened the system with the rescue 
cd,typed grub.set then the correct partitions.but after reboot nothing 
has changed.so i rewrote MBR with the Win installation cd and now 
waiting for a solution.
some hints:
*i have chosen custom installation
*i have chosen advanced modification of grub and password protected the grub
*in partition magic it complains about the corrupted partition table and 
exits.my harddisk's  partition table after install looks like:

Disk: 1   Cylinders: 14593   Heads: 255   Sectors: 63   MB: 114471

the first linux disk is "/" as you can guess.the second one is "/home" 
and there is a swap.
*as i have installed it with "nodma" option.can it be the problem.(it is 
written in the grub.conf file)

thanks again for your replies.i am an end user.
