Switch on the machine and make the DVD driver as master or slave depending upon your installation.If this is not Working For you then use manual installation method.You also make sure that DVD driver is being shown in the bios.Have a close look at the boot and insure that the boot sequence shows the DVD device.Wait for a wile and shutdown the machine .Now install the device insuring the cable matches the proper selection on the device.Boot and it is ready for the use.

The problem you must be facing might be related with a limited chip-set on your motherboard that can not address 4Gb RAM.So remove you memory and install window using 2GB memory support.The other problem would be that your chip-set/bios supports it enable memory hole remapping in bios setup.There are also chip-set in Intel which cause such a problem.Follow this instruction for sorting your problem.You will be definitely able to solve your problem.

I was placed in the same situation when i was installing the windows 7 on my machine.My brother suggested me that the you are facing might be from a bad disc burn.After getting this solution i installed directly from the ISO image.This time i was truly able to install successfully.As my problem was solved by this ,in the same way your problem might also get solved .So try it .
