Did you remove the disc when it reboots?

Make sure your bios antivirus is disabled.

Don't forget, after the first "press any key to boot from CD" just let it go. Only do that the first time or it will start over.

thx..for the response's but I check my bios and there not an antivirus option, I also went to the maxtor website and set my partitions, no luck. I tried installing it again and after the first reboot, it prompted me to PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD, left it alone and it came up with the error message of A DISK READ ERROR HAS OCCURED.

That is starting to sound like a hardware problem either with the optical drive, the installation media or (yiikes!) the m-board. I had a similar install problem that was only solved when I replaced the board. It was new board, fresh out of the box.
