so u get that error when u get the dialog asking to verify the integrity of the medium and u insert your 3 disks and it specifically says that your disc is faulty?
if not, please be more specific as to where u get this message
if all fails, redownload the isos (if u downloaded them), or try them on a different computer

hmm, normally checkmedia won't load anything and just check your disks... u sure that u selected check media or did u accidently hit skip?
if u have an extra computer around, see if u can get the installer to boot, don't worry, it won' install until the installer says: "now is your last chance to reboot"
