[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1607225, member: 98520"] In this instance the retail version of Snow Leopard is not suitable. The last retail white version of Snow Leopard Apple produced was 10.6.3. The early 2011 15" MBP shipped either with 10.6.6 or 10.6.7. The late 2011 MBP came with 10.7.2 installed. As the OP didn't state which 2011 model he had, can only assume it was the early 2011. If installing Snow Leopard it has to be the grey DVD, and as it is 10.6.6, its likely the correct one. Originally stating 'given dvd' is confusing, it sounds as if it wasn't the original and you were given it. If as you later say it came with your MBP it should be the correct one. If you've used disk utility to erase the HD and are still having issues, these could be caused by the HD, cable or even memory. If you upgraded the memory to 8GB yourself, do you have the original memory to put back in before attempting another erase and install? [/QUOTE]
