If this a clean install, ie you deleted any partitions first, then likely
its a hardware problem
Hard disk, maybe memory

If you are getting that error you are not booting to the CD-ROM, you are
booting to the hard disk. Go in the BIOS and change the boot order so
that the computer boots to the cd before the hard disk.

I have the same problem, and have set boot order, so gonna assume it is a
hardware problem?
