Issues installing xp

Hello,
I am not sure if this belongs here or in hardwar, nut it seems to fit better here.
When i got to install windows on my spare computer, it gets are far as setup is inspecting your hardward. Whn it passes that the cdrom stops reading and the computer just sits at a black screen. The computer installed linux fine. The computer is not the one in my profile, and to be honest i dont remeber what micro-atx board is in there. I know it runs phenoix bios. Any ideas? I have tried two cd-roms.

Edit: Update: windows 98 also has issues

Dirt/Dust in the cd drive could cause this..
