looks like a harddrive problem, have you done a diagnostic?

get hold of some diagnostic software....
Try your harddrive suppliers site to see if they provide anything (for example maxtor do)
Failing that there are various other things available.

Personally I use the following...
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
which includes a pile of different diagnostic tools

It sounds like your hard disc is goosed....

I would try....
1. check the download checksum to ensure that the iso you're trying to install isn't corrupted
2. assuming that the iso's ok try swapping in another hard disc to see if that clears the problem
