Question about installation error...

I recently bought a brand new EA game. First computer game that I bought for my brand new computer. Woo! Took it home, attempted to install it and...

At 84% of the way through, the installation froze. I recieved an error message reading "Data Files Complete. Data Error (cycle redundancy check)". Now, I've emailed EA with this little problem, but my question is...
What the hell is this error? Never in my experience with any computer software have I seen a 'cycle redundancy check' or anything of the like.

Might I say that my OS is Windows XP SP2. Which means, of course, that none of the tech support can help me, because everything is different. Damn Microsoft. Anyway, I was just hoping someone out there would have a clue as to what's going on. Thanks guys.
