A CRC error is a disk error, and it is unclear from your description whether the error is on reading from the CD Drive or the hard disk drive.
It sounds like it cannot read the CD Drive very well. Clean the CD itself and retry booting from the CD a starting a clean installation of XP. You may have to call Microosft and obtain a replacement CD.
