More trouble with the Leopard install

So I run to the Apple store with MBP and they are very helpful in trying to install from one of their disks with various options.... but to no avail.
So, now I get a new clean drive, boot from the install disk, format this blank HD with GUID formatting. That should let me install Leopard to it in a Full Erase and Install mode.

Installing to second GUID formatted clean HD fails in exactly the same way. I can only assume, after two diff. install disks and 2 diff. target drives, it's the DVD drive. I've never had a problem with this drive before.

I'm going to the Apple store today again to see if they can recover the the old OS or try a different DVD drive.
