Could you be a bit more specific about what said what? There is no 'can't change disc' error message in the installer, so a more nearly accurate post of the message would help.

Again, could you be more specific here? Why can't you do Disk Utility's "Repair Disk" step? Did you restart from the installer disk to do this, as Disk Utility tells you you must do if that option is greyed out?

Is this the essence of the message your revieved: 'Snow Leopard cannot be installed on Macintosh HD the disk cannot be used to start up your computer."
Sorry about being so vague on what it said. i couldnt remember from memory.
I had used the install disc that came with the computer when i did disc repair.
Anyway, i have just taken it down the the Apple Store near us and hopefully they can sort it out.
I did have the latest update from Leopard before trying to install SL.
Thanks anyway.

The Problem was with my hard drive. There was a fault and it has to be replaced.
