OK, I'm changing my stance and saying there's a problem with your machine now. I was inattentive and didn't read the portion of your first post that said the XP installation CD failed also (unlike 87coupe). If both of these CD's are failing and they are KNOWN GOOD CD'S(?!), then look into a BIOS upgrade for your motherboard. Check also for a firmware update for your CD\DVD drive (whatever it is). Or (easiest), try another CD drive if you have another handy. Make sure the drive has the correct IDE or SCSI ID jumper setting.

What are the details of this hardware anyway? Is the machine old?
