Install Failed. Installer could not copy the necessary support files

I replaced the hard drive in my MacBook 13ac OS X" late 2009. I am trying to reinstall th OS and applications from th CDs that came with the computer. When I start the computer and try to install the OS, it starts to install, after about 2-3 minutes I get the following message. Install Failed. Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. The Installer could not copy the necessary support files. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again. I have done this several times with no luck. Is the CD missing something? Is there another way to do this?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6)
