My problem was that one of my harddrives was damaged. Did a low level format on it from the BIOS, and found that nearly every other track was bad. Switched it, and everything worked fine. Note that I got that error message at the first package, so it was a bit different from your situation. Anyways, I think you probably have some hardware problem of some sort. RAM or Harddrive are good candidates.
Of course, it could be that one of your ISO images are corrupt. Have you checked them?
