I had that message before...

It's a bad download and or iso burn.

What did you do to fix that problem?
And do you think it will help if I download the 32-bit?

You should download the right file for your computer. Either 32-Bit or
64-Bit.

Mine is 32-Bit and I used the Akamai Download Manager to download the file.

It
sounds like you're trying to run the installer under your existing version of
Windows. If your BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD, enable this option and
restart your computer. The burnt DVD should be detected and the system will
boot from this DVD, rather than from your hard disk.

If your BIOS does not
support booting from CD/DVD, you will either have to upgrade it or make some
boot floppy disks.
