Reformatting + XP disk problems

My roomate's laptop just took a blue screen of death dump cycle. He was in a BG in WoW and it blue screened / rebooted. as its loading back up, it does a scan disk to see if theres any errors, then it loads the windows XP splash screen (with loading bar), then it does another blue screen / reboot.
But thats not the reason im here. I deleted the partition, and re-created it. Using a Windows XP Pro CD (that has like zero scratches on it), we tried to reinstall it. Randomly (since we had to stop the install and restart it several times) it "cannot copy <filename> from CD".
Like i said, the CD looks like brand new, no scratches....but Windows is telling us that the CD may be jacked. I know its not "jacked" because i used that CD as well on my computer with no problems. And before you all ask...it is a legal copy with a legal casing/sleeve
Any ideas? hes freaking out because TBC comes out tonight...

Download Memtest x86 (if you have a computer that you can do it from), burn to CD or make a floppy, and boot to it. This would be my first course of action.
I've seen this before, and every time it says "couldn't load <X> from CD" it has been a memory issue.
