The install CD could be dirty and unreadable by the Optical Drive, or the Optical Drive could be on it's way out and failing to read the CD properly.

However unless you have wiped the HDD and used a utility that writes zeros to every sector the most likely problem is that something from the previous install is preventing the named files from being loaded. you can get Boot & nuke available for download from here that will allow you to wipe the HDD from here

That's supposing that the system has worked previously which you didn't mention and that nothing has broken in the system since the last install.

You can check out the system by running a Live Linux in it and seeing if it will load and run you can download or buy if you like several different ones from here

You can also chose to run some diagnostics on the computer by running [b]The Ultimate Boot CD[/b] available for download here

Or if you want to buy a copy and have it posted out to you the above listed site can supply you a copy along with any of the forms of Live Linux that you want.
