Strange, but it could be due to a scratch o the disc or something, otherwise, I've no idea.

Unfortunately, many times CDs don't last forever, especially if they're stored poorly. So they sometimes cease to work even they appear OK by eye. I suggest trying it on another computer, and if that doesn't work, your CD may have gone bad.

And I suggest :lol: to try to move your entire instllation CD on your HDD and run the installation from here. You may also well use cdcheck. (Seek for him on internet) :)
