Mac OS X Leopard
Yeah, so I was using my neighbor's disk. He has 2 macs (a 5 years old but nice iMac and a macbook pro) and installed Leopard on both of them, and so since he has the family pack it still has 3 openings to install on other computers. I have a black macbook purchased in July, I got it off ebay from a trusted user, didn't even open the box, the computer works fine, I got it in October 2007. So, he gave me the disk and I did everything right except when it was checking the disk "for consistency" not even halfway through and told me to clean the disk and try reinstalling again. I did this and I checked for scratches I noticed nothing so I tried installing and the same thing happened. It worked fine with my neighbors' computers! I don't get it...I really wanted to install it tonight. What might be the problem? Should I go to a store and get the disk checked out? Ah what to do!!

You can take it to an Apple Store if you live in a city that has one. Not everyone does though. The best thing you can do is call Apple at 1-800-My-Apple and ask them for the U.S. or Canadian Apple Tech. support line.
Those guys are incredible (I own an IMAC) and will trouble shoot it with you. If they can't get things going at either the store or over the phone nobody can. The Canadian number is 1-800-263-3394 but not being American I'll have to refer you to the above number for their 1-800 tech support.

When it starts to check the disk, you can click skip. If that doesn't work, then take it into an apple store.
