Hi and Welcome !

From where did you download RHEL 5? Have you burned .iso image yourself?

Hi Friend,

RHEL5 copy I have already.

[devils casper]

What I am asking is, from where did you get that copy? Did you burn its .iso image yourself?
Something could be wrong with installation Media only. I would suggest you to try RHEL on other machine. Installer will not write anything to Hard disk before Partitioning Section.
This will confirm that where is the problem. RHEL installer or your machine's hardware incompatibility.

Welcome aboard!

If you burned the ISO file to disk yourself, maybe the ISO file was bad or the file didn't burn properly to disk, or perhaps the media itself was bad as suggested above.

Have you tried burning the ISO image again?

You can check this HowTo for making sure all steps were followed correctly:
