Try cleaning the CD or using another one. It might be dirty or damaged. You might also have problems with your CD/DVD drive, HD, or memory, but I'd start with the media.

Possible bad CD-ROM drive. Happened to me before and got the same thing.

What type of disk is it? Retail, OEM, or a copy?

Are you able to install from a network share?
