Really? Wait, you only get the errors when copying files from the
debian-cd, either under linux or windows, but in windows (or whatever)
you can copy other cds files around ok? This would indicate a cd

That would be my guess. Subtle hardware problem which is triggered by
large files. Do you have any settings you can twiddle?
