So this was my first time reformatting and reinstalling OS X. My gfs macbook had been running particularly slug-ish and full of bs so she asked me to reformat it. I booted from the mac osx 1 cd, ran disk utility, zeroed out the drive... all was going well. I started up the installer, it began to install normally. Randomly, i received an error saying that i the disk was scratched/something of the sort (i can give exact error later) and that the process could not continue. This seemed odd to me as the disks had never been used or removed from their protective cases. I was unable to manually eject the disk from the keyboard, so i force ejected it by rebooting and holding down the mouse. I cleaned the disk, reformatted again (zeroed). I tried to start the installer and came to the same problem.
It gives me the option to quit the installer or continue/skip error. I tried skipping once and after about 3-5 minutes i was sent back to the pick your language screen.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
