but is this possible to start installation on a PC who has already installed centOS ?????or what are the requirment to install centOS again if we already have centOS......

When you boot from the CD, at the kernel boot options, enter a new attribute: acpi=force. On RedHat systems, the kernel options part is often shown at the screen that first appears after you boot from CD.
