What do you expect?  Someone mailing you disks because you have a faulty
download or bad disks? ;-)

Please don't be offended when reading this, but you got all the help you can
get.  There is no advice other than the one you have received as response to
your post two days ago.  The reason for this is that the problem is on your
site and nobody can help you there except you...

Let me summarise the advice you got:

Go to the next (computer) store, buy a pack of new disks.  Copy the files
you have on four of those disks.  If this does not work, delete the old
files you have on hard disk, *clear your browser cache* and then download
the files again (all of them).  Copy the new files you have on four of those
disks.  Repeat this until you are successful
