thanks Ozar
can i get more help in this
i have copy pasted my slackware 12 DVD on one of my hard disk "there is a option in installation where you can set your source to use hard disk drive as installation medium".
now thing is this when i try to install it
it selects the medium and even shows the install everything window
however the next page is press alt+ctrl+del to restart ?????????
dont know whats going on

I've never tried installing that way, so I have no idea. Are you sure there's not something you are missing on the page before the alt+ctrl+delete page? I'm guessing if you press those keys, you'll get a normal reboot, but have you tried it to see what happens?

Maybe someone that has tried this will offer up some tips. It sounds like you might be on the right track, though.
