It seems likely that your installation media is corrupted--in my experience, that's the most common cause of this kind of installation error.

You should MD5 test the .iso image you downloaded. If that doesn't check out, then you'll have to download a new .iso and start over.

If it does check out, then you should check the installation media for defects. This applies to both CD/DVD media and to USB flash drives.
