Could be multiple issues:

Try swapping out the memory on the system -- more than likely the files when they are being passed through the corrupted memory are being corrupted causing the input/output error.

If it was a harddrive related issue, you would have received a S.M.A.R.T. warning from your bios more than likely. Although it could also be your hard drive controller or pci settings related to it.

Does the error occur at the exact same spot every time? If it does, it's going to be a media related issue.. possibly corrupted source files on the install.

If the location of where the install process fails is random, it will sound more like a hardware failure.. this isn't a 100% safe bet, but it's a good rule of thumb to go on.

Let us know:

What percentage the install is failing?

How many different games you have tried?

Has the game been successfully installed on another system using the same source media?
