it gets to the point where it stares installing files, but then every file cant be copyed. i know my disk isnt bad becouse i used it before. what can i do?
 
It does point towards a dirty/scratched CD or a faulty CD-ROM drive. Try cleaning the CD the best you can and use a lens cleaning CD on your CD-ROM.

Microsoft may replace any CD that is damaged and unreadable.

If you have access to a second machine you might try to copy your CD and see if you have better luck with the copied CD.

You can try these too.
