A CRC error refers to when a "cyclic redundancy check" fails. When the install CD was created, checksums of all the files were created and stored along with the actual files. When it copies files to the hard drive, it verifies they are correct by comparing the checksum of the file on the CD with a computed checksum of the file copied. If the checksum of the copied file is different than the original, the installer will know that there is some kind of problem. It will try several times, and finally report back with a CRC error.

What this means is something isn't right. Your CD could be scratched where the file is, your CD lens could be dirty, your IDE cables could be going weird, your hard drive could be writing bad data, etc. However, since it's only complaining about one component, I would say it's most likely to be a scratch on the CD or something. Try cleaning it and trying again. If that dosen't help, try using a different CD drive.
