Is this when you run the installer off the CD/DVD? If so, try copying the files from the disc to your hard drive and run it from there.

It sounds like a problem with your drive. Can you try using another CD/DVD drive?

That is very odd. Are you logged into Windows as Administrator? If not, you might try installing as Administrator.
