Vista DVD working on one computer but not another

When I use my vista dvd on my computer it works perfectly fine. But when I use it on my brother's HP computer, after the press any button to boot from dvd, it give me the error: the file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum. Anybody know what's happening? I have Vista Ultimate DVD version if that matters.
 
I'd run a memory test overnight. If that doesn't reveal anything, then try swappng the two DVD drives and see what happens.
 
I haven't personally seen this error, but was/is he having any issues with the machine? sounds like could be bad ram or bad drive or ables.
if there is 2 drives in the machine try it from the other drive and see if it does the same thing
aslo check for firmware updates to the optical drive on hps website, there where a few machines back late 06 early 07 that had firmware updates due do some problematic media reads
 
this happened to me on an older computer, for us, it was the dvd drive.. id try swapping it out with anothe cd drive and see if that works.

take every thing though, cables too.. in case its the cable thats the problem
