Hey guys, sorry to create a new thread but I have pretty much boiled down my problems to this. Basically, I have tried SIX installation CDs and they all freeze at some point within the installation. Essentially they all load up the drivers but freeze at the point where I select a partition. Here is a photo of what shows up:

As you can see, it lists all the partitions as "UNKNOWN". I have tried reformatting/reinstalling OS X three times so I am relatively sure that that is not the issue. Also, I have tried recovering my GUID partion table as shown in one of the threads in another forum on here. That was the farthest I got as the computer DID NOT freeze, however it only listed one partition, the C:/ partition and would not let me install on that one for whatever reason.

Let me know what you guys think.

UPDATE: Somehow I got it to work! I did nothing besides bring my computer to a friends house and plug it in at a different outlet. I have no idea how this would suddenly cause the installation to work but its pretty nice regardless! Thanks for everyone that helped!
