It could be a couple of reasons that cause it to fail.
Depending on how you mount the partition the ISO is on as well as
how you mount the ISO.
It could also fail if you format the partitions the second time
you run setup and configure the target partitions.
There are other things that could cause it to fail as well.

The way I explained it in my previous post may not be the easiest
way but it works for me. I have systems that don't have a CD and
are not dual boot systems so I have to download the ISO to the
system before installing using only 4 floppies to boot the system.
