OK, it probably isn't the drive, but if you want to avoid the drive entirely, you can mount the iso image file and extract the isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img files, stash them in the /boot directory of your existing linux and make a grub entry pointing to them, you can then boot into the installer directly without needing a dvd or cd at all (I've been doing this a lot on machines at work so I don't have to crawl under desks to get to the dvd drive :-). Of course, if there really is no drive problem, none of this will do any good :-(.
