Does anyone know how to install from Hard Disk or any other installation method? I tried from Hard Disk, but also got problem installing.
Please advise.

I think there is a way to install from the internet, but your problem with your DVD is going to be a problem. I don't have a solution but suggest the it is a hardware configuration problem. Perhaps you have both the DVD and HD as master on the same IDE channel. Or something to that effect. Tell us more about your hardware.

I had this same problem on an IBM desktop. I finally tried upgrading my bios to the most current level and then I was able to install from the CDs. Before I got it working, I had to put the CD into a FTP server and then do a FTP install. It was kind of messy and took forever.

Try upgrading the bios for your motherboard.
