Clean the CD with windex, then try from both drives to be able to copy the entire contents to HD, if you can then try install from there.
If none of that works check back with me for more things to do.

But I will tell you in the past this error is usually the result of one of three things.
1) Not a legit copy.
2) CD is scratched/Dammaged
3) Drivers MB/CD/OS need updating.

Just setting and drivers, most likely related to the CD-rom drive.
