If you are installing from a boot CD you have burnt from a fresh download into a newly formatted partition, it won't know about the old installation until it looks to configure Grub (I think), so it must be either the CD, or a hardware issue that is stopping it.
As Lee suggests, the first thing to do is check the validity of the CD.
