It seems I misinterpreted the error.
The drive is fine; I noticed the BIOS present a message that some settings would have to be modified for use with Unix.
It is an HP DC5800; I've never heard of changing parameters to use other operating systems.

What would I have to change?

Hello, I'm attempting to install GhostBSD on another PC and I'm encountering an error. It lists as: ==> tar zxfv /cdrom/data/mfs.tgz -c /memdisk (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): READ(10).

I'm sorry I didn't get back to this.
I figured out what the problem after attempting to install another OS
The hard drive was bad despite being "new."

I intend for it to be.
It might have some files left over from a previous operating system, but I'm not trying to keep those.
All right, maybe it was the DVD I put it on...

I'm installing it to a 1TB drive.
It seems like it reaches a certain point and then just stops.

Hello friends,

I'm trying to install GhostBSD.
The computer boots from the disk and I select the install option.
It proceeds to read from the DVD and display the slideshow.
When the progress bar reaches ~75%, it prompts a failure.
Why is this happening?
