Finally after days of trial an error I got the origin of the problem and how to solve it. I'm working from a Vista computer, so what I say here is related to this environment.
- You have to download images (iso files) using FireFox web browser. Internet Explorer does not download them complete.
- After downloading the image, download md5sum and checksum the file to be sure it was downloaded correctly. To do that, you have to open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded the files and run the following command: md5sum centos-5.2-i386-bin-DVD.iso to generate the checksum number which you must compare to the one in the md5sum.txt that is found on the same site where you downloaded the files from.
- Burn the DVD in a low speed (8x).
The above 3 steps must do the trick.
I hope it helps to some others new to CentOS.
