Install Mac OS X 10.6.3 dvd on new ssd hard drive. "Error could not download supported files."

Ok so I replaced my mbp hard drive with a new ssd hard drive after finding out the original hard drive was corrupt. What led me to this conclusion was the kernel panics causing me to almost have a stroke. Booted in verbose mode and saw that the volume in the hard drive was corrupt. After replacing the hard drive with a brand new one, with no backup to restore I proceeded to install my Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD. My mbp booted and I followed the instructions to install the OS from my DVD. It started to download and after it reached 30 minutes left I got an error stating "error could not download supported files." I replaced the ram thinking that might be it but same thing. I also have a 10.6 Mac OS X install DVD but when I try that it kernel panics again from boot. I don't have another comp to test DVD nor do I have a USB to download a copy. Wondering if I can do something besides getting another DVD or USB with it? Or if there's a way I can download the 10.6.0 DVD without I t kernel panicking? Help me please!

I don't know if its the original since I've bought two mbp and in moving places I only could find one of the disc. My question now is "what disc should I get that will be able to put the Mac OS X onto my mbp and if its possible since its a brand new hard drive with nothing on it to upgrade?" Also my friend said he could download a copy for me and if that works which version can and/or should I have him download for me? Lastly considering my first two questions are doable, what do mean by or what's the steps to format my new hard drive? Thanks
