... mmmm what OS do you use? what version of Moodle you installing? A Standard installation or Xampp/Moodle or Mamp/Moodle?
If you are installing on a Vista computer, then check your permissions, that is the usual issue. If a Mac then same may apply. Are you using Apache or IIS? MySQL or PostGres or Oracle or something else? What version of PHP? Have you ensured that PHP has been installed properly?
This is all important at this point, then we can start to eliminate things.
You may want to change your installation strategy and use Apache, PHP and MySQL with a standard install, as opposed to a Xampp/Moodle or a Mamp which use XamppLite.
Until we can clean these things up, you may continue to keep struggling and give up as it all becomes a huge time waster. Don't do that, keep it all going and you may yet get it going.

Perhaps one way around this is to set up vhosts in Apache.
In the httpd.config file, set:
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and in httpd-vhosts.conf file use something like [Ubuntu might run it slightly differently, so you will have to check for the exact syntax]:
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin minime@home.org
DocumentRoot "[drive]:/yourserver/path/moodle"
ServerName moodle
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin minime@home.org
DocumentRoot "[drive]:/yourserver/path/drupal"
ServerName drupal
</VirtualHost>
This should give you a better chance to achieve what you are looking for. You will not have anything interfering with each other...

While the above will help, there was a bit I missed out as well. Should have seen it straightaway, sorry.
In the Apache httpd.conf file, you will find a section called DirectoryIndex. This will use whatever file type is available that conforms to what is listed in the following configuration.
It should look like:
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.pl index.html index.htm index.shtml index.phtml
</IfModule>
This is probably more relevant than using vhosts.
