If you already have Linux, you can run what's called an md5sum check on the downloaded image files, and also on your burned disks. This is the only sure way to tell you haven't mixed versions--and it's extremely important not to mix versions as you've now discovered. If you can't run md5sum, for example because you only have Windows now, you can certainly look at the iso file byte size and date stamps. That should indicate whether or not you've mixed versions. I'm very sorry, but you'll need to get a complete set in order to install successfully.
