Distro's installer freezes

[Jii92]

Hi, my problem is that im trying to install Ubuntu (newest version) as dual-boot with Windows XP, installer freezes after it recognizes hdd's.
I get when it boot to installer's livecd, something this:

Buffer I/O error, *something* *something numbers*

Then when i waited couple of seconds, it booted to livecd.
But in the partition section of installer, it freezes. The installer freezes!

Then i downloaded openSuSe, just to check if the problem is in the distro. Well, after when i choosed "New Install" and i pressed "Next", it did something and then it freezed. -.-

I made a chkdsk to all hdd's in my computer, but didn't work.

Aida32 Summary

E: I now remembered that in the buffer i/o error, it mentioned some: "md-0"
