Do you have more than one hard drive currently installed? Disconnect all drives except the HDD you want to install on and the optical with the install disc and try again.

Is this a newly built PC or are you reinstalling on an old machine? What's the history and specs of your PC.

Is this a purchased Windows 7 installation disc or did you burn and ISO from somewhere? There are reports that burning the installer at the fastest speed can cause these errors. A solution for that is to reburn the ISO at a slower speed.
