Apple designed the Snow Leopard installer to fail after 1 or two uses, notice that Disk Utility still works.

They do this to increase sales.
Have you ever had an XP installer crash on you? I haven’t.

Paying to be an Apple beta tester is the greatest thing ever! I remember when they were a crummy company that only cared about the professionals who used there machines! Thankfully the age of ipods and iphones came along to to help apple get it’s priorities straight!

The message ”There is a problem reading the Mac OS X Install DVD. Carefully clean the disc and try again” turns out to be misleading. In my case, the problem was bad memory. I replaced the bad memory card and the upgrade then went quickly and flawlessly. In the bargain, a number of other problems (Firefox and Safari crashing frequently) have also gone away.

It’s rare for OS X to generate wrong error messages. This is the first time in 20 years of being a Macintosh user that I’ve encountered one.

same here, but it has to be some general problem: i bought brand new dvd same message as you guys “There is a problem reading the Mac OS X Install DVD. Carefully clean the disc and try again ”- after that, i’ve borrowed the dvd from the friend (worked fine at him) – same story. checked my hd – fine. all other dvds and cds work just fine….just have no idea.
