Are you installing from the CD? If so try copying all of the files to your HD.

If it still get's hung up then try copying the files to the HD on another computer.

Pretty much. What you can do is create a folder on your C:\ drive and drag the contents of your CD into that file.

Usually, you will receive this message when there is a scratch on the CD itself. You may want to try copying the CD to see if that helps you out as well. Unless the scratch is really bad, you should be able to successfully copy the disc.
