I ran into this problem when I first tried installing UT2003.. the quick solution was to change the CD drive properties to PIO mode.. that allowed me to install the game but at a slower pace..

in the long run I found that the via drivers I had installed (4.38) were the problem.. I was having trouble with my CDRW not getting through a full burn properly.. my machine was also running slower than it should.. going back to V4.33 solved all of these problems for me.. I recommend trying a different via driver set and hopefully that will help..
