[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1445384, member: 8287"] I would say check the Snow Leopard DVD for fingerprints but you say it's a brand new DVD. I would check anyway just in case. If it's not the DVD, it could be issues with the Optical drive in the Macbook and also an issue on your hard drive. Did you do an Upgrade or erase and then install? If nothing else works and the DVD is Scratch and Fingerprint clean, you might boot from the DVD again holding down C after the startup sound, then from the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility and erase the HD and try to install again. Do you have any Backup of the 10.5 files? [/QUOTE]
