Thanks for your responses guys. Unfortunately, neither solution fixed the problem. I tried both of them, but still got the identical problem.
Oddly, when I actually clicked to begin the installation, the DVD drive spun up, but then the pop-up message again indicates "Disk Not Found"....


HOWEVER, I think I may have found the source of the problem. In checking things out on an actual Win XP box I noticed something VERY odd. When I explored the DVD with XP, the DVD appears to have 8 hidden folders which do not show up in Linux. Even running `ls -lai` the additional directories don't appear. When I viewed the DVD with the graphical Nautilus file browser the directories were also not revealed, even though I had the "Show hidden files" option engaged.
$ ls -lai
total 82390

Here, under XP I run `dir /a:d` to show all (including hidden) directories:

These are Mac installation files. It is interesting that Linux could not 'see' these as the entries and files are usually in standard ISO9660 file format.
