I've seen this same problem before too. But I did find an
answer to it. The file you need is on your CD-ROM. The
problem is the CD-ROM Drive. From what I've read, this
apparently happens to older CD-ROM drives. One thing you
can try doing is to eject the CD-ROM and then re-insert
it. If this does not work, try another CD-ROM Drive.
Hope that helps!
