As they are unable to read the Install CD reliably.

I'm taking it for granted that you've looked at the data surface of the Disc and made sure that it's clean and not covered in scratches or the like.

While not common some off the shelf systems can come with a batch of faulty parts for example just about every NB ever made had a set of [b]Bad Sony Batteries[/b] in them which all needed replacing.

A few years ago a series of IBM desktops had a 100% failure rate on their M'Boards so it's not impossible to happen.

Try contacting your nearest Lenovo dealer for repairs.
