Bzzzzzzt.  Sorry, "linux text" to GRUB means you want to run the install 
in text mode;  has nothing to do with whether X is going to be installed 
or not...

If the file is present on the CD directory listing in Windows, can you 
actually get it (that is, copy the file to some temp spot on your hard 
drive)?  Just because you see it listed in the directory doesn't mean 
that the file itself is OK. 

Did your iso download images verify correctly with the MD5 checksum?

Did you do the "media check" at the beginning of installation, and all OK?

If you can answer "YES" to the above 3 questions, then perhaps you need 
to set the "no DMA" option in the instructions to GRUB at install time.
