Installation Error: CDROM Could Not Be Mounted

It says "Insert Disk 2" and I do it, but when I try to continue installation, the error message "The CDROM Could Not Be Mounted". Anyone know what's going on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

NOTE: I tried to run a check on it, but checksum wasnt on the disk...I purchased the disk from a vendor, I didnt burn it myself

Never mind...turns out it was a copy of Disk 3 labeled as Disk 2 but it was protected by copyright? What kind of dumb idea was that?...stupid vendors...

Yeah, well, what kind of moronic company mixes up their CD's for LINUX? If they want people buying their products and switching from Microsoft, you'd think they'd get it right...
