Buddy, it is possible to access Disk Utility through the install process. I did it here. If I remember well you need to click on the Apple menu in menu bar. Then the disk utility will appear. All you need to do is to be calm and explore the menu bar before you install...
There is something called a period (.) in the English language. Use it, so we can understand what you're asking.
And you are saying you cannot boot from your SL disk and reinstall SL?
What happens when you try to boot from the SL disk?
well i tried the retail copy of snow leopard but now i am trying the original disks that came with my mbp but the other retail disk dose nothing it just shows the apple logo and thats what happens when you have a update and your disk is not the right version.
