This error often pops up while installing SQL Server Express / Full edition on machine.

Fix:

Right Click the folder (say, C:\Sql2005) in which you wish to install SQL Server.
In Tab ‘General’, click on ‘Advanced’
Uncheck ‘Compress contents to save disk space’
Uncheck ‘Encrypt contents to secure data’

and try installing. If this does not work, please log in the comment.
