I think the only real way that can happen in this context is if there's been a problem reading from the CD. This is generally due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, rather than being an installer bug as such. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, or to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers).

There's also a chance that it may be something wrong with your hard disk (though I don't see a definite sign of that), in which case moving it to a cooler environment or replacing it might help.
