Please help me fix this.

When I load some programs I keep getting an error saying that a file was not found, I press retry and it loads for another couple minutes and does it again, when it gets to 100% it keeps coming up and wont finish the install.
It happens on both of my CD Rom drives.
I tried reformating.
The CDs are not scratched, brand new.
I've never had this problem before.
Could it be a bad hard drive?

Have you tried cleaning the CDs?????

I cleaned them, and even brand new cd's do it.

That happened to me too....on both my drives. I was trying to install MS Office2000. I eventually got it to installl when I let the program do most of it itself. I wanted it in a different directoy and a few other options (i dont remeber it was a long time ago). I left all that default and it worked.
This probably doesnt help any, just thought i'd let ya know.

hi,
try checking your ram with memtest or prime95 or something like that. i have seen this before when ram was going bad.
hope this helps.
