To retry installation because the installation aborted at an early stage, add the directive acpi=off. ACPI is responsible for many kinds of installation errors. If you turn ACPI off, you may be able to overcome some of these errors.

In BIOS under power management or whatever it's called in your BIOS version - disable ACPI.

I don't think he has a clue as to what he's doing. He's going to screw his box up if he doesn't know anything about his BIOs setup.

Sounds like it already is screwed, and looks like he has no option, as long as there is nothing else changed.
Other option is dependent on what flavour as some allow you to 'customise' the setup to ignore ACPI and carry on with it disabled in the OS instead.

when you boot your computer, way before the windows logo, press DEL or END of F1 or something, depending ont he mobo, and you'll get into the bios config.

I believe it's to do with DVD drives. To control it you may want this program:

That's ASPI (old SCSI hangover, used for amost all drive interfaces now as a bit of a generic), ACPI is power management TM :D
