1. Deffective CD-ROM drive, or at least, a CD-ROM drive that is unable 
to read the the media that is burned from your burner

2. Deffective Ram.  Test this first by running memtest from a boot cd. 
If memtest can run and doesn't find any errors within approx 10 minutes 
of running, replace the CD-ROM drive.
