Also let us know what the system specs. are for the system that you are doing the install on. If this is an older system, then there may be problems with the older cdrom drive reading the media, say compatibility of the drive with cdrw media, if that is what you used. Other suggestions are;
1. Are you sure that you have a good download of the iso files? Did you check the validity of the burned disks before install?
2. What media are you using to burn the disks? Or, do you have the commercial version cd's?
3. Use cdr media to do the burn, not cdrw.
4. Burn the iso's at 4X or 8X speed (if you downloaded the iso files). Do not burn the iso's at the fatest speed rating of the cdrw drive.
