Thanks Mark for your help. Maybe it is a more hidden hardware problem. Anyway the cd was working with the same hardware with Suse Linux. It is an IDE disk UDMA66 quite modern (48x).
I have changed my complete computer for one exactly as I had before. I'm going to try again the whole installation process.
