Difficult to understand question, but from what I understand that someone may have changed a setting on the MoBo and now when you try to install an OS you get some message that blocks the install when booting from the CD.

If you can get into the BIOS, see if the AntiVirus protection setting is enabled.

I am not talking about an Antivirus program like Norton, AVG, McAfee or any of the others.

If you go into your BIOS settings there is an option for the CMOS to not allow programs to write to the Boot Sector of the harddrive. If this is enabled it could very well be what is causing the problem you are experiencing. It doesn't know the difference between a virus or an installer program, any prgram trying to write to the boot sector will blocked.
