Yes you will get that error if the cd is dirty or scratched...
it will also happen if your CD rom is bad .

Try copying the setup files to your harddrive and installing from there.

Finally: That error could also be caused by bad RAM

Try the disks in a known good computer. If they are indeed damaged,
you might try contacting Microsoft about a replacement.
