Okay so long story short, I go to install Leopard onto my MacBook. It installed flawlessly on my iMac (I have the family pack, so it's legit) and I went to go upgrade my MacBook. I chose to erase the main drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Leopard. Everything went smooth up until the last moment.

At the LAST SECOND, right before it was going to say "okay it's time to restart" it said that it could not be installed, something about that the installer had failed, and then it froze. I finally couldn't wait any longer and cold booted the machine. I then turned it back on and get this image

Being that I've never seen this before I decided to place the Leopard disc into the drive and let it either continue or restart the installation (as it was deleted anyway). So I place the DVD in and it shows the Apple logo and I think "Okay, whatever" at the error, but then the MacBook spits out the disc and quickly shows a cancel symbol.

Now I'm really worried, Apple's website says to just "simply place the DVD in and repair your drive" but the disc will not even stay in the drive! I didn't do ANYTHING aside from the standard Leopard installation (erase and install) and I have no idea what to do.

Please, ANYTHING will help. Thanks so much.
