Drake 9.2 on Inspiron8200

This evening I tried installing Mandrake 9.2 on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop. The first attempt froze when there was just a text window that said something like "second stage". On my second attempt (after removing the battery to restart), I was able to start the file copy part of the install, however immediately after beginning it froze. Finally, I was able to install up to the 3rd Disc (these are DLed ISOs), but while copying the index (tag) file (10 seconds remaining), once again the machine froze. Does anyone have any advice on how I might be able to complete my install? Thank!

EDIT: I should also note that a few packages failed to install, the only name I remember being the openoffice libraries. I inspected the disk and its physical condition seemed fine.
